Economics Question

Step 1: In-Class AI + Peer Workshop (Preparation Stage)

Purpose: Use AI as a research tool and practice critiquing its output before writing your paper.

Workshop Activities

1. Choose a Country
   Select one country from the list: Argentina, Brazil, China, Chile, Colombia, Egypt, Ghana, India, Haiti, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Lebanon, Malaysia, Mexico, Nepal, Peru, South Africa, Thailand, Venezuela, Turkey.
2. Use AI to Research
   • Ask AI to find recent news articles on your countrys GDP, inflation, unemployment, and one current economic crisis.
   • Have AI summarize the key findings.
   • Save the article links and AI outputs.
3. Critique the AI Output
   • Did AI accurately reflect the article?
   • What details were missing, biased, or inaccurate?
   • How would you improve the response?
4. Peer Exchange
   • Share one article each with a classmate.
   • Compare AI summaries with your peers reading.
   • Discuss: Where did AI help? Where did it fail? What insights came from your peer?
5. Workshop Notes
   • Record what you learned from AI, what you learned from your peer, and how this affects your analysis.
   • These notes will later become your Workshop Reflection section in your paper.
