Yeah.
And he came back to Emory in the fall, and that was the time that they had just launched their AI minor.
And so he enrolled in the introductory classes, and now he's all in.
Quite the opposite, actually.
What I heard from educators and administrators was that these classes and programs are intentionally designed for students who have no computer science background whatsoever.
They're really aiming to reach all students at the university and make them AI literate.
A professor at Harvard Business School that I talked to, Joseph Fuller, who researches the future of work, described AI literacy as the modern equivalent of typing in the 1970s and 80s.
So this universal skill that all students going into all fields of work should have.
And so he says that job seekers should demonstrate that they can interact with a tool like ChatGPT.
and figure out how to prompt it to get the most accurate and thorough results.
And so that's what students are going to learn from these AI courses.
A big part of it is also knowing when AI is wrong because AI still makes a bunch of mistakes.
Yes, and knowing the ethics behind AI.
It's not just technology fields like we would expect when we think about AI usually.
On Handshake, which is a job search platform for college students, the share of job descriptions that mention ChatGPT and other generative AI tools has tripled in the last year.
And of those jobs, while a quarter of those are tech-related, 16% are in marketing and 12% are in art and media.
Some of these jobs are also in government, which has an AI talent gap right now.
So Cornell is designing a minor that they hope will
will prepare students to fill some of those jobs.
And then a number of these students are also going into jobs in the business and finance sectors that are using AI tools for efficiency.
