Lots to think about here. The world of AI may be rewarding those who utilize AI in a way that can combine our talent base with AI in a supplemental way without sacrificing creativity and originality.
Your suggestion re pursuing journalism as a major area of study in this new era has real merit. Creativity, originality and objectivity will be key to the future of that profession. Finding objectivity in many products of the current era of journalism can be a real challenge.
Thanks for this -- hope you'll keep updating it! One concern -- many/most American students do not have free and unfettered access to the agentic/AI systems they need to be 'AI Ready'.

I added a definition for 'prompt engineering' to the Learn & Work Ecosystem Library the other day- seeing more terms emerging about how humans can work well with bots. We're all going to need to develop skills to work side by side. The faster colleges help students develop these skills the better I think. And now when bots offer two responses, there's the challenge of analyzing both and determining which is better and why. These are high level critical thinking skills. Really like your article Kathleen!
