bigdragon Boasting about the capabilities of AI to students who are struggling to enter the workforce because of AI is a bold choice. The disruption in entry-level tech jobs is insane due to AI's capabilities being overstated, overestimated, and under-scrutinized. These tone deaf executives need to be booed. Unfortunately, I don't think they're receiving the message that people are attempting to send. Reply
DS426 Wow, bold choice indeed. Grads in particular are disproportionately affected by AI and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, all after going mountain-high in debt because our society pushes this "you HAVE to at least get a major these days." We're screwing our kids and grand kids almost as fast as you can say "AI." Oh and hey, uh, aren't speeches supposed to be written FOR the target audience? Absolutely inappropriate to be glorifying AI in front of many of whom will be suffering from it. Sadly though, can't say I'm surprised. Lastly: I like what Mike Rowe did on his organization's website with "AI-proof six-figure jobs." That man is a national hero. https://mikeroweworks.org/ Reply

derekullo A group of college graduates is about the worst possible crowd to pitch AI to. Most of those graduates just went through the most stressful point of their lives as of yet only to be told at the supposed finish line that there services may no longer be needed and any jobs that are available only pay 70% as much. As tone deaf as Schmidt was he does have a point. Graduates do have a right to be angry and fearful of AI, but being angry and fearful of AI won't make it go away. The graduate's generation will be the ones to shape artificial intelligence because they don't really have a choice and it's that lack of choice that really infuriates them. Reply

You can't be more tone deaf than trying to pitch AI to a bunch of students, that are going to struggle to find jobs because of AI. Reply
