Students from across the Big Ten are invited to participate in this virtual policy simulation with the opportunity to play the role of a senator working to move a bill out of committee. The bill, S. 1626 (IS) - AI Shield for Kids Act, would make it mandatory for companies to not include artificial intelligence features in their products targeted at minors without the consent of a parent or guardian.
This event is for anyone who’s curious about how policies are created and want to have a say in shaping the future. Worried you won’t understand policy language? Unclear about a policy simulation? Don’t be! This is a learning experience for everyone, and democracy thrives when diverse backgrounds participate.
Students who complete the policy simulation will receive a digital badge that recognizes their participation and skills developed in this learning experience. They also become eligible to participate as mentors with their Big Ten peers in future in-person policy simulations.
Please register by March 5.
