Axios C-Suite: AI education for all

Jamie Dimon told me CEOs need to step up and do a lot more beyond running their company. We have platforms others don't to push new ideas to staff and beyond. Shoot me ones others should consider. Here's mine ...

EVERY college — and ideally every high school, too — should mandate that all students complete an AI Basics course starting this fall. Teach the different models, prompting, agents and some basic safety and ethics tips.

• After speaking to students at several top universities, I was alarmed at the skepticism and fear — even ignorance — about AI.
• One bright young woman articulated to me why she'll never even consider using AI. I told her: "I'm gonna tell you what your teachers and apparently your parents aren't. Don't ever say that again or think it again, or you'll never get a job anywhere."

🧠 You can be cautious about AI. But you can't be oblivious or incapable of using it.
