Pursuing a traditional liberal arts education will position graduates for success as AI diffuses across industries and professions, Gupta said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>AI &#8220;can automate the financial or computer science skill, but EQ \u2014 the understanding of the problem \u2014 is the human dynamic,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Christopher Rim, founder and CEO of Command Education, a New York City company that helps advise high school students and their families on the college admissions process, said that creativity \u2014 along with creative problem-solving \u2014 helps set graduates apart from their peers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What employers will increasingly be looking for are people who can think laterally, challenge assumptions and bring a perspective that can&#8217;t be generated by a [large language model],&#8221; he told CBS News. &#8220;As AI becomes more capable of handling technical execution, raw technical knowledge becomes less of a differentiating quality on its own.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Learning how to learn<\/h2>\n<p>Skills that companies will value &#8220;are, somewhat ironically, the cornerstones of a liberal arts education,&#8221; Rim noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, some of the career-focused hard skills that many college students learn could have less value in the labor market as AI advances, especially for tasks that would&#8217;ve once been performed by younger employees, according to experts.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, what undergraduates should focus on is &#8220;learning how to learn,&#8221; said Rebecca Taber Staehelin, co-founder and co-CEO of Merit America, a nonprofit that helps train low-wage workers for higher-paying roles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s less important that you know how to do every technical aspect of a job than it is to understand the principles of the industry, how to build relationships, communicate well and manage conflict,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Individuals with those general muscles are better able to adapt and thrive versus a one-trick pony who says, &#8216;I know how to code in Java, and if that Java coding job goes away, I am up a creek.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>What AI can&#8217;t replace<\/h2>\n<p>Unlike previous generations of Americans, workers entering the labor market today should also expect to have several careers, involving a range of jobs and skills, rather than pursuing a narrower professional track. Versatility will be key.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is highly likely that graduates entering the workforce will not land a job that is squarely in their intended field or desired position,&#8221; Rim told CBS News. &#8220;As such, it is important that students leverage their coursework to show future employers that they are adaptable and multi-talented.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The goal isn&#8217;t to find a major that AI isn&#8217;t going to affect, because no major will be completely protected from technological change,&#8221; added Michael Itzkowitz, founder and president of the HEA Group, an organization focused on college access and economic mobility.<\/p>\n<p>For students entering college, Itzkowitz recommends focusing on developing &#8220;communication, critical-thinking and problem-solving skills,&#8221; while also learning how to exercise sound judgment \u2014 another deeply human skill that he said AI can&#8217;t replace.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s about finding a college program that helps students build skills that will remain valuable as tech changes,&#8221; he said. &#8220;With AI doing the hardcore technical work, other skill sets may be increasingly more valuable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p class=\"content__meta--editors\">\n      Edited by<\/p>\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/alain-sherter\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Alain  Sherter<\/a>\n                      <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/ai-artificial-intelligence-college-major-skills\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Computer science is out on U.S. college campuses, while the new &#8220;new&#8221; things \u2014 faculties like critical thinking and communication<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":85060,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[213],"class_list":["post-85059","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Why the liberal arts can help young Americans prepare for the era of AI - World News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The advent of AI puts a premium on developing skills like critical thinking and communication, according to education experts.
