Steve Blank Teaching National Security Policy with AI

Technology, Innovation and Great Power Competition is an international policy class at Stanford (taught by me, Eric Volmar and Joe Felter.) The course provides future policy and engineering leaders with an appreciation of the geopolitics of the U.S. strategic competition with great power rivals and the role critical technologies are playing in determining the outcome.

This course includes all that you would expect from a Stanford graduate-level class in the Masters in International Policy – comprehensive readings, guest lectures from current and former senior policy officials/experts, and deliverables in the form of written policy papers. What makes the class unique is that this is an experiential policy class. Students form small teams and embark on a quarter-long project that got them out of the classroom to:

  • select a priority national security challenge, and then …
  • validate the problem and propose a detailed solution tested against actual stakeholders in the technology and national security ecosystem

The class combines multiple teaching tools.

  • Real world – Students worked in teams on real problems from government sponsors
  • Experiential – They get out of the building to interview 50+ stakeholders
  • Perspectives – They get policy context and insights from lectures by experts
  • And this year… Using AI to Accelerate Learning
