AI Insights: Jason Jay & Eric So

Jason Jay is having his students converse with ChatGPT after training it on a prompt that instructs the AI to act as an impact-focused career coach that adjusts its line of questioning to explore individual values, skills, and career objectives in depth. Learn more about his plan to enrich the subsequent in-class discussion based on the insights gleaned.

Eric So's innovative assignment prompts students to coach and refine an essay written by ChatGPT explaining value investing principles in Warren Buffett's distinctive style. When the student becomes the teacher and must refine the AI's output, they gain a deeper understanding of the topic and develop their critical thinking skills. Learn how he's leveraging AI's potential to reimagine the classroom experience.
