Graduation season has begun, and this year's speakers have realized how difficult it is to inspire students about a future involving Artificial Intelligence (AI). For example, when Gloria Caulfield of the Tavistock Development Company called AI the "next industrial revolution" during her speech at the University of Central Florida, students booed her. This is reported by Techcrunch.com reports .
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt faced a similar situation during his speech at the University of Arizona. When he told students they should participate in shaping AI, the audience expressed disapproval. Schmidt tried to continue his speech, urging students to "get on the rocket," but his words were met with sharp resistance rather than applause.
However, the situation is not the same at all universities. When NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang spoke at Carnegie Mellon University, his thoughts on how AI has reinvented computing technology were received calmly by the audience. Nevertheless, a pessimistic mood among young people is growing.
According to a Gallup poll, only 43 percent of Americans aged 15 to 34 believe now is a good time to find a job. This figure was 75 percent in 2022. For many students, AI is not just a technological breakthrough, but is perceived as the "new face of hyper-ruthless capitalism."
