In this week’s politics podcast, Guinevieve Tran and Jackson Hardy discuss the phenomenon of problematic presidential children. It’s no secret that the offspring of world leaders are going to be under the spotlight as much as their parents. However with this type of spotlight, it comes with great scrutiny as well. Dating back to some of past presidents up until now, these kids often find themselves thrusted into the spotlight and their actions add to the long line of “controversial first kids.”

We will be exploring some of the most controversial presidential children of all time and how they’ve made their impact throughout their parent’s time in office. From scandalous activities and questionable business dealings to unexpected choices, their lives have been anything but ordinary. Because once someone becomes president, everyone is affected.

Artificial Intelligence or AI software has always been around but in the recent year, it has made its appearance more prevalent in student’s work whether it be tests or essays. According to the Office of Educational Technology, even some teachers are finding useful ways to incorporate AI use by finding, choosing and adapting material for use in their lessons. There has been big debates about whether the use of AI can hinder or benefit such work. Do you think it hinders or benefits college academic life?

There are a lot of mixed answers in regards to whether it hinders or benefits, students find that it helps them create a basis for their work for them to expand on their writing. While on the other hand, some students believe that it takes away the human aspect of their writing, it doesn’t seem personal nor show its true creative ability. However, with technology continuing to advance, it looks like AI isn’t going anywhere. It’s continuing to provide equitable education to all students and it can create new learning styles for many.
