The article discusses concerns that AI could displace jobs and render certain skills obsolete. It suggests that colleges will adapt their curricula in response, as they have historically done with technological and political changes. While some professions, like programming and law, may see a reduction in job availability, it is argued that this won't entirely eliminate those professions, but rather alter their structure. This could lead to schools eliminating entire programs if there's insufficient demand.
Supporters and critics of AI claim it will be taking our jobs. If true, this suggests that AI could eliminate the need for certain skills.
Colleges would, almost certainly, be able to adapt. For example, if AI replaced only a set of programming skills, then degree programs would adjust.
If AI fulfills its promise of replacing entire professions, then this could eliminate college programs aimed at educating humans for those professions.
While AI might be able to eliminate some programming or legal jobs, it seems unlikely that it will be able to eliminate the entire profession.
