This is coming at a time as more Americans are questioning the value of a college degree.
Colleges are really eager to prove their relevance as a path to well-paying jobs, and they see an AI degree or AI coursework as a way to help their students get there.
Generally, these classes and these new AI minors are about how to use generative AI tools, how to apply AI in different fields of study, and how to think about the ethical dilemmas that might arise when you are using AI in your daily life.
I talked to one psychology student at Emory who took a class called Data Mining the Mind, and they learned how to use AI to detect problems.
patterns in a patient's speech to diagnose brain injuries and disorders.
So classes are really application-based.
Other schools really require students to get a deeper glimpse into the technology and the coding.
So Emory requires the students who are pursuing its AI minor to take an intro to a computer science course.
At USC, it's the same idea.
They have to take classes like programming in Python, basic tech and concepts behind artificial intelligence tools like neural networks as well.
employers increasingly want their hires to have AI skills, and colleges are hearing about this.
So as of December, there's a statistic from the Work Trend Index from Microsoft and LinkedIn that 66% of business leaders said they wouldn't hire someone without AI skills.
Yeah.
So colleges are really looking at the rise in generative AI in the workplace and seeing that they have to prepare their students.
A lot of it, as you can imagine, came after OpenAI released ChatGBT in 2022.
So some students saw how pervasive this technology was in their lives, and they really started to worry about being left behind.
I talked to one student who was really anti-AI.
When it came out in 2022, he watched classmates using it and was really worried about academic integrity and how much creativity students could have in their lives after AI.
But then he did a marketing internship the following summer, and he was really surprised when his boss kept asking him to use ChatGBT to draft crowdfunding pitches.
And he got really scared about being left behind with this technology that's moving so fast.
