Final Paper (30%)

Students are expected to develop a research question (Does children’s interaction with AI-based platforms influence their online and offline social behavior?) that falls within one of the themes discussed in class. They will select an artifical intelligence chatbot (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, DeepSeek) and ask it to generate a three page academic response to their question. Students will then critically evaluate that answer in give to six pages. In doing so, they will be required to support their evaluation by citing at least give academic sources.
