A new consortium of major tech companies will share how AI is changing their workforces and occupations in tech. Also, a student success group wants to make sure lower-income students aren’t left behind on AI, and a new index aims to help states tighten connections between education and work.
Understanding AI’s Impacts on Jobs
Educators may feel like they’re flying blind as they prepare for the impacts of artificial intelligence. Despite all the noise about the technology, useful intel is hard to find on its promise for students, and potential pitfalls.
Determining how jobs will change is particularly difficult. Colleges and other education providers are relying mostly on fast-changing speculation as they seek to embed AI skills in education and training programs. And wealthy universities no doubt have access to better information than do community colleges or other institutions that serve low-income students.
“We don’t know where it’s going, but we have to be involved in the conversation,” says Linda Garcia, executive director of the Center for Community College Student Engagement at the University of Texas at Austin.
