Skills for the AI Era

When a labor market shifts rapidly, universities and training systems must decide which programs to preserve, reform, or phase out. Analyze how institutions can identify obsolete degrees without sacrificing intellectual breadth, social mobility, or long-term innovation. Consider the tension between vocational utility and foundational education, and assess how AI changes the skills that matter in law, medicine, engineering, design, and the humanities. Finish by outlining a model for universities to stay relevant while still producing adaptable, well-rounded graduates.
