Zoom in: Three Davis County schools looked into using AI to voice students' names, KSL reports.

• Only Davis High School is keeping the bot after student protests.
• Northridge and Layton high schools opted not to use it.

Zoom out: As young workers struggle to find jobs amid hiring freezes that companies have attributed to AI, graduates at multiple colleges have booed commencement speakers who cheer the technology.

The latest: At a Phoenix-area community college last week, an AI program omitted many graduates' names, prompting sustained shouts and boos from the audience.
