Education is about preparing a groundbase of general knowledge from which to build. The world doesn't stop turning now you've entered the world of work (or not work as the case may be). Don't try to change the world, it's been here a lot longer than you have. Engage that big brain and all that youthful energy, invent, challenge, solve and use the rapidly evolving technology to build a better future for everyone.

Mouli, great perspective 👍

So the idea of going to school and coming out to look for a job is global. The education system needs a total overhaul. Your education is no good if you cannot create employment, this may not be true for professional courses like Medecine and Law...however the vast majority of students should be equipped in school to create employment

I'm surprised Laura the AI director is called it chatGPT when it's actually open ai. Graduates will need to adapt. Obviously jobs will decrease not increase.

Revise your curriculum, every university must inlcude AI courses like its a mandatory mathematics. It should be done through government ministries to re,evaluate all fields of studies. Otherwise there will be less humans ready for these new 1.7 M jobs.

We're all so screwed 😭😭

Frigtening and quite obvious AI Eyeopener(s)... ✅️ 😟

Alvin Foo Exactly this. I'm 23 and built an AI product (Bulkify) because I ignored the dismissal crowd. Meanwhile, friends who listened to 'it's a bubble' are now 6 months behind on skills they desperately need. Skepticism asks questions. Dismissal closes doors.

"The proactive thrive. The passive get displaced." Since when this is a new trend ? With AI or without AI. It was not always like this ? It has always been like this. It’s a fundamental law of economic history.

Are we developing technology over that human lives or making businesses to replace humans. It's really a question when we are getting degrees and AI is making no worth. There are not only positive impacts of AI but also affordability to bear what we see University graduates are kicked out, layoffs and entry level roles are vanishing. I mean at the end when we graduate then market has a new plan to hit these skills.

Where can I see the full video?

That’s a tough disconnect, but it is also the reality of a career in IT. Curriculums do not always keep up with industry. By graduation, some of what they learned may be behind what employers are looking for. Ideally, colleges and universities should be much more forward-thinking and faster at adapting to emerging technologies, frameworks, tools, and ways of working during their program. Students also need to understand that formal education is only the beginning. To stay competitive, they need to supplement their coursework with practical experience, current technical skills, internships, personal projects, open-source contributions, bootcamps - whatever helps them bridge the gap between school and the real world. Generative AI really only became mainstream about three and a half years ago, and it has already changed expectations in IT and other areas. I sincerely hope colleges & universities are not just reacting to this shift, but actively preparing students for what comes next.

One thing I find interesting is that AI is making proof of work far more valuable than credentials. When everyone can generate output, the differentiator becomes showing how you think, what you build, and the problems you consistently solve. That's where documenting publicly starts compounding.

AI doesn’t replace ambitious people.It exposes passive ones. The students winning right now aren’t always the smartest in the room. They’re the ones shipping weird projects at 2AM, learning in public, breaking tools, fixing them, and moving faster than curriculum updates. Meanwhile some executives are still scheduling a 6-week meeting cycle to discuss whether AI is “relevant.”By the time the committee approves the pilot, an intern has already automated half the workflow with three prompts and a coffee. The future probably belongs to people who can do both:think clearly like humansand move insanely fast with AI.

AI sin't just raising the bar. It's amplifying the gap between average users and expert users. The student who built and shipped an AI-powered tool while their classmates were applying is competing on leverage. Same degree. Different trajectory. The gap widens with every cohort. To me, AI doesn't just eliminate mediocre careers. It stretches the distribution. The top end pulls away faster than the middle can catch up. Totally agree to this, "the best time to enter is now, if you rise to the higher bar."

Honestly if you know all the principles of how to code and you've spent 3 years studying it, you have the cheat code. You have the expertise to orchestrate AI systems and debug better than anyone else. And every business in every domain needs this right now and to become AI first. Lots of money to be made from this right now.

When the world evolves, we must adapt. This is not to say it will be easy or without consequences. Billionaires fund and develop ways to get richer and dominate. Unfortunately, people follow, adjust, lead or get out of the way.

Obviously they have created a monster and once again humanity is on the wrong side of it. We want to destroy ourselves faster than ever it is devastating.

Like studying journalism in 1996

Brendan Jephcott yeah I agree this is victim mentality, it’s only been a short while, he’s young he doesn’t get it
