Vol. 4 No. 1 (2026): Governing the Generative Age: Student Policy Proposals on Artificial Intelligence

This volume of GRACE Journal presents our first  installment of original student-authored policy proposals addressing one of the defining governance challenges of our time: how to responsibly regulate artificial intelligence across domains that directly shape human life. Stanford student contributors examine AI’s implications for autonomous transportation, healthcare, education, military applications, creative labor, and copyright law. Written for policymakers, technologists, and the public alike, these memos demonstrate how emerging leaders translate ethical principles into concrete regulatory frameworks. Collectively, the volume models how careful, evidence-driven student work can meaningfully inform real-world AI governance debates at local, national, and global levels. Future volumes include global perspectives from Stanford and beyond.
