The Most Important Skill Students Are Ignoring | MOONSHOTS

College students face social pressure for supporting AI, with peers calling it
Chapters
We had an event for our Future Vision XPRIZE, and there were two young guys there in college and just graduated. They were telling me how much pushback they get from their peers, that their peers just think AI is the worst thing, and they were so happy to be in a room of people who were excited about and supportive of AI. I hate that notion that on college campuses in particular, and we saw that with the booing of Eric Schmidt.
Architects of artificial intelligence. Interesting.
Truly scares me. The single most important technology that our 20-something-year-olds need to be learning how to use and, you know, utilizing to make their lives even bigger, up— upscale their ambitions in life, are culturally now being pushed back on. And, oh my God, I can't believe you like AI. What's wrong with you?
You remember how the jocks used to beat up all the computer geeks back in, you know, the 1980s, 1990s? It's, it's that all over again, except it's now, oh, you're an AI person.
Yeah, you geek, get out of here.
