- Students and their parents are actively searching for future-proof college majors suited to an AI-powered world, with some questioning the value of traditional degrees
- Employers are changing the skills they expect from entry-level workers as AI takes over tasks once assigned to new graduates
- Colleges are rethinking how to prepare students for the workforce transition that AI is forcing
