AI as Your Thinking Partner

The scenario

You have been given ₹5 crore under the Ministry of Home Affairs' Modernisation of Police Forces (MoPF) scheme. You have been asked to propose one project that would meaningfully improve policing.

What would you propose?

Begin by setting out your proposal below. The prompts to think it through with AI will be revealed one at a time as the session proceeds. Nothing you enter here is submitted anywhere — it stays on this computer.

1Your proposal

Set out your proposal below, without using AI. A first, considered response is enough — you will have the chance to develop it further shortly.

Saved — file downloaded

This also downloads a small text file of your proposal — keep it, in case this browser is cleared.

2Think it through with AI

Five moves, one continuing conversation. Open whichever AI tool you use and keep the same conversation running through all five stages — don't start over each time. Your facilitator will give you a passcode when it's time for the next one.

Incorrect passcode.

A. Understand the problem

Before asking if your project is good — what problem are you actually solving? Most proposals skip this step.

B. Broaden the possibilities

Have you jumped too quickly to one solution? There's usually more than one way to solve the same problem.

Incorrect passcode.

C. Challenge your own thinking

Ask AI to argue that you're wrong. It can argue the opposite just as well — eloquence isn't evidence.


          
        
Stage locked — enter passcode to reveal
Incorrect passcode.

D. Let AI interview you

Reverse it — this time you answer the questions. You may know more than you think; the interview just makes you say it out loud.


          
          

When your facilitator calls time, paste this to close it out:

Incorrect passcode.

E. Stress-test it (if there's time)

Assume it failed. Three years from now, what would you wish you'd asked today?

This is for you, not for anyone else. It won't be collected or shown to anyone.

Stop using AI. Read what you wrote at the start. Then answer here.

A single file with your original proposal, where you landed, and the five prompts — yours to keep, and to reuse on your next proposal.
