AI, representation & accountability / Gemini
The Democracy Repair Shop
The ballots are counted. What else has to work? Step into a fictional repair shop and use Kreps and Kriner’s “How AI Threatens Democracy” to diagnose problems of representation, accountability, and trust. You’ll unpack difficult passages, examine the evidence, and defend a repair—with guidance that adapts to your understanding. Allow about 40 minutes. Keep the article open as you work.
Before you begin
Complete the assigned reading before opening the bot; keep the source beside you.
A Google/Gemini account is required. Provider availability, age rules and usage limits apply. Conversations are processed by the provider. Do not enter student records or sensitive personal information. Opening this conversation does not send a Possible States simulation record.
Give the conversation a job.
- State the author’s central claim in your own words.
- Point to one passage or piece of evidence that carries the explanation.
- Offer the strongest rival account and ask which observation would distinguish them.
- Write your own bounded conclusion and one follow-up research question.
Without a bot
Use these four prompts as an individual reading response or a paired discussion. An instructor can assess the reasoning against the source. A bot’s feedback is not the final authority on an article.
