The class will form a mythical “company” and take on the roles of various jobs, such as CEO, marketing specialist, factory worker, etc. They will then utilize AI tools to see how well AI can perform those jobs. Amazon is deeply involved in rolling out and using AI tools and the technology will be an integral part of its future. Students will work in teams of two-to-three to explore each role. Roles may be duplicated by other teams. Class will evaluate the societal effects of AI as it applies to employment and explore responses and solutions to those effects. Students will be encouraged to use AI tools using a school-safe environment, such as Magic School, in all aspects of their tasks but will be personally responsible for accuracy and citation of reliable sources. Final project will be an essay or video that discusses five of the topics in the Measurable Objectives section, below
