Preparing for the workforce in the age of AI
Dakota State University students and faculty discuss the impact of artificial intelligence on the workforce and their fields of study. They believe understanding AI is crucial, but it won't replace entire careers.
Dakota State University students are preparing for a workforce reshaped by artificial intelligence. Fourth-year master's student Blake Schmiedt is studying computer science and building AI tools for faculty. Schmiedt plans to work as a network security engineer after graduation. Assistant professor Jason Mixon says AI may automate repetitive tasks but won't replace entire careers. Faculty members emphasize the importance of understanding AI and building foundational skills to use it effectively. Students and faculty encourage future college students to study what interests them and explore opportunities in their fields. Schmiedt notes that human problem-solving is still essential, as AI can't automate everything. Mixon believes students will have the knowledge and skills to utilize AI in their work rather than being replaced by it.
