Jessica Winter has been raising her children to detest A.I. Then her daughter’s public middle school began receiving Google Chromebooks, which came pre-installed with an all-ages version of Gemini, a suite of A.I. tools. “When my daughter, who is in sixth grade, begins writing an essay, she gets a prompt: ‘Help me write,’ ” Winter writes. “If she is starting work on a slide-show presentation, the prompt is ‘Help me visualize.’ She shoos away these interruptions, but they persist: ‘Help me edit.’ ‘Beautify this slide.’ ” Proponents of generative A.I. in elementary and middle schools argue that such early exposure will foster digital-media literacy, and prepare them for a future in which most professions are steeped in A.I. But the technology also poses significant cognitive and social-emotional risks to young people.

My position with the @Buccaneers was eliminated last week. I’m forever grateful for the memories made over eight seasons, from building the Bucs’ social media nearly from scratch to seeing it blossom over the years with hard work and sacrifice. Thank you to the co-workers who had me laughing on a daily basis and the players/coaches/staff who made me feel like family. Coach Bowles’ nickname for me, “Smiley,” was because of you all. It is more important now than ever to be adding social media marketers to your organization. It’s about more than being able to make a TikTok — it’s about knowing the brand inside and out, protecting it like a PR professional, building relationships, being trusted as the direct line of communication with the fans, reading the room & much more. Those skills are invaluable to your company and no longer a luxury but a necessity. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience throughout my 20s. Onward and upward! 🙏🏼🫶🏼
