“The workers who use AI best will deploy human judgment to analyse and evaluate information. To succeed in a workplace, not simply at a desk, they will be able to listen as well as to communicate. Their relentless curiosity will be grounded in intellectual humility, while their ethical behaviour will require moral courage.”
“Judging by the proliferation of programs of study in artificial intelligence, higher education is learning exactly the wrong lesson from that technology’s transformation of the workplace. Artificial intelligence makes purely technical skills less valuable and human judgment more essential. There has never been a more powerful case for the liberal arts, a kind of education that cultivates human discernment.”
