Start with what initially drew you to AI or what most people believe about it. Then pivot to what genuinely surprised you during your research. This contrast between expectation and reality makes for a compelling hook.

 Elaborate on your main discovery or surprising insight. Was it about AI’s limitations? Its unexpected capabilities? The ethical questions it raises? Describe what specifically surprised you and why it caught your attention. Include a concrete example from your research or class discussion that illustrates this point.

 Discuss the implications of this surprising aspect. Why does it matter? How does it change your understanding of AI or its role in society? This is where you can explore the “so what?” of your discovery. Consider mentioning how common misconceptions about this aspect of AI might lead to problems if not addressed.

Connect your insight to the bigger picture. How does this surprising aspect of AI relate to its future development or to society more broadly? This is a good place to mention any sources that informed your thinking or to cite information from your lab that backs up your perspective.

Wrap up with a thought-provoking statement about what this means for the future or how it might change our approach to AI. End with something memorable—either a call to action, a prediction, or a question that will stay with your readers.
