The breakthrough development of #AI has created confusion among young people, who believe that AI can replace many human jobs and lead to unemployment. However, the truth is that AI also creates many new jobs in related fields such as technology, data science, and machine learning, offsetting any potential job losses.
AI becomes a tool to support, not fully replace human positions, due to its limited creative ability and inability to handle complex situations that require multidimensional thinking and sensitivity that humans possess.
Other concerns that students are also very interested in, such as entrepreneurial thinking, startup challenges, and working in unrelated majors after graduation, were also addressed by the business representatives.
Overall, the roundtable discussion helped raise awareness and influence the students’ mindset about equipping themselves with practical skills and knowledge, make the impact to their journey towards finding suitable careerpaths in the future.
