How Miami Schools Are Leading 100,000 Students Into the A.I. Future

▤ Summary

One morning in April, Tracy Lowd, a social studies teacher in Miami, tried a new approach to making government policy come alive for her high school students. She used artificial intelligence chatbots to role-play American presidents. Her class at Southwest Miami Senior High School had already read about John F. Kennedy and discussed his campaign for “new frontier” economic and social policies. Now Ms. Lowd asked two dozen 11th graders to open their laptops and type a prompt into Google’s Gemini chatbot: “Act like President Kennedy. What was the new frontier?” The chatbot quickly spat out paragraphs of Kennedyesque text, including phrases like “my fellow Americans.”
