What College Graduates Need Most in the Age of AI
Commencement season invites self-reflection. Honorary speakers ask it of half-awake, partied-out, graduating seniors. But colleges and schools, too, are gazing in the mirror: What's the point—the medium, more precisely—of education nowadays amidst tech upheaval? As a writer and teacher, I'm admittedly baffled by this question. (But I suspect the textile weavers of early 19 th -century Britain were as well, when they saw industrial factories spring to life.) What's clear to me is that generative AI has begotten Generation AI. Since debuting as the fastest-growing platform in internet history, ChatGPT has become a metonym for all that AI ails. Within two months of its launch, a survey found 90% of college students were using it for homework. More recently, a massive study by AI company Anthropic confirms that students outsource 'higher-order cognitive functions' like creativity and analysis. We've seen obituaries penned for the out-of-class essay; writing teachers throw up their hands and quit; and the humanities endure yet one more existential punch. Read More: I Quit Teaching Because of ChatGPT As one undergrad devastatingly summarized, 'College is just how well I can use ChatGPT at this point.' Such sarcasm ridicules six-figure tuition, room, and board. But pedagogically, a false fork in the road is presented: Education surely has to work both with and against artificial intelligence, even as questions vex either way. The latter calls for analog retreat: blue books, oral exams, and the like. It clings to the calculator comparison—that its invention didn't invalidate the need to learn logic of basic math, by hand—and (correctly) places faith in the cultivation of intellectual muscles rather than accepting their inevitable AI-augmented atrophy. Some of our students falsely assume that product —a final paper—is what we seek, because high-stakes testing has trained them transactionally, and that's what grading tallies. But, of course, process is what we ultimately aim to sharpen: The steps and lessons learned along the way. AI rewires that relationship, short-circuiting effort from output. How might we better measure process? Must it involve students—anxious of AI accusations—absurdly uploading hours-long screen-recordings that self-surveil their compositions? This is the ask of the 'work against AI' caucus, one that looks to the practice of tradition for answers: not just the wisdom of the ancients, but the techniques by which they were handicapped—the conditions of their time that gave rise to that wisdom. We've lived with and benefited from the calculator, for instance—much like other disruptive, suspicion-inducing technologies of knowledge before (writing) and after (the internet). Thus, for the 'work with AI' evangelists, a different counterpoint: If reading and writing are now supposed to be outsourced to the machines for the sake of efficiency, what are educators supposed to assign, assess, and indeed, idealize as the proxy for thinking? Literacy had a pretty good 5,000-year run, if you're a fan of human advancement. And it may well be that Generation AI is on the cutting-edge of some radical new means of thinking, rather than its lazy replacement. But that's for ed-tech to prove, not for us to take on blind faith. Educators' suspicion of artificial intelligence is well-warranted because AI is an epistemological provocation wrapped in a tech advance. It's also a massive, ongoing sales pitch. Unholy sums of capital are being sunk into Silicon Valley. Those bets only pay out if we all adopt AI in our daily lives, both personally and professionally. That training must start early: hence, OpenAI offering their 'Plus' tier free through finals season. It's perpetuated by the pesky swarm of AI assistants that want to help read and write for you across apps and platforms. Outsourcing nurtures dependency and deskilling. Tech companies race to establish first-mover advantage in this space: battling to become monopolistically synonymous with AI like Google with search, Amazon with online retail, and Meta with social networking. For OpenAI— valued at $300 billion but burning through $5 billion a year—that's a can't-lose bet. Hence, the cliché increasingly heard (and certainly by our over-indebted undergrads): 'AI won't take your job; the person who knows how to use AI will.' But that sounds more like a corporate cost-cutting threat just masquerading as historical inevitability. No technology is inevitable, however faithfully the evangelists sermonize to make it so. Intellectual humility demands that education hedge both 'with' and 'against' AI, because we can't know which technologies will triumph and which will collect dust. Some become Facebook; others, the Metaverse. While colleges sort out Chat GPT's precise place in matters curricular, we can double down on delivering what Generation AI equally needs: the experience of humanity, a quality the machines can never know and must never supplant. This includes the experiential learning that accompanies volunteer service, immersing students, three-dimensionally, in the lives and worlds of society's marginalized. It also includes the social and communal dimensions of campus life that might offset our crippling national crisis of alienation and loneliness. Yet, here, we'll need to guard against college becoming even more of a lifestyle project, reducible to 'day in the life' TikToks. And that, in the end, might be exactly what Generation AI needs the most, beyond large language models: a space to unplug; a space to think, to find oneself; a space to strengthen those muscles of focus. Your attention is the most valuable thing you'll ever have, college graduate. Know that it's your superpower—the purest and most generous expression of love. Never squander that on anyone or anything who doesn't deserve it—least of all, a machine.

Navigating Innovation, Change And The Creator Economy: Matt Britton Explores All In New Book ‘Generation AI'
"Generation AI": Why Generation Alpha and the Age of AI Will Change Everything" explores how the ... More world, including content creation, is being transformed by AI. Suzy Embracing the change. For Matt Britton, a new media entrepreneur, author, global brand advisor, keynote speaker and consumer trend analyst who assists companies in understanding and incorporating change and transformation driven by new technologies, the time was ripe for his new book, Generation AI: Why Generation Alpha and the Age of AI Will Change Everything . Artificial Intelligence continues to define and redefine aspects of our lives, from how we consume content and make our livings to how we interact with others and the world. And his latest book, which officially launches today, explores how AI is reshaping every corner of business, culture, and society. One such shift addressed in the book, pegged as 'creator economy,' refers to how original content is produced, distributed and monetized, where any individual powered with AI tools can now create their own niche content. Designed for the Alpha generation Britton refers to, these digital natives who have spent their entire lives surrounded by digital technologies will shape future trends. Generation Alpha will be experiencing an AI-enhanced media landscape. And this influx of new personally created content on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, while a boon for the creator economy and the advertiser community, will also challenge traditional studio models. 'I think that people who know how to deploy AI are going to create tremendous wealth and the people who don't are going to be out of work. And I think over time, and I'm an AI optimist, it doesn't matter if you think this is bad for society because every company is going to adopt it,' noted Matt Britton, who is also the founder of Suzy, an enterprise consumer research platform.

(Photo by Kirill KUDRYAVTSEV / AFP) (Photo by KIRILL KUDRYAVTSEV/AFP via Getty Images) AFP via Getty Images The Creator Economy 'In the world of media, and original content, we went from just three major broadcast networks to then cable, which introduced a more niche model, to where we are today, which is streaming and fragmentation, and podcasts,' he said. According to 2024 Nielsen data mentioned in the book, streaming now accounts for over 40 percent of TV viewing time (compared to 27 percent for cable and just 21 percent for broadcast). AI-powered recommendation engines have dramatically improved, leading to increased binge-watching behaviors. 'Today you can watch content anytime and anywhere, you can create anything you choose, and you can monetize your efforts. It gives everybody a chance to get their name, their content, and their creativity out there, which is something that we hadn't seen until social media came about. And you can build your own brand.' 'Now I believe the creator economy going to become even far more accelerated because the one limiting factor of creating great content was the high-quality production capability,' he said. 'So, yes, somebody could create a YouTube show, but they weren't able to create Hollywood type effects. Now, in the age of AI, you can create a Hollywood style movie without any actors, any lighting people, or any real budget. And that's truly going to advance creativity in a way that I don't think most people comprehend yet.' Driven by increased spending on influencer marketing, more platform monetization tools, and the popularity of short-form video, the creator economy is projected to reach $480 billion by 2027, according to Goldman Sachs Research, which is discussed in Generation AI Why Generation Alpha and the Age of AI Will Change Everything . 'Instead of culture being steered by big corporations in the boardroom, it is being steered by young people on the sidewalks. For the consumer, they have a voice. For an advertiser, there is an opportunity because they can create ads and messaging that are hyper personal, quick to roll out, and with the ability to target individuals and audiences in a more precise way than ever before. But I do think the studios have their work cut out for them because their defensibility has been their production capability and their capital. With the ability for any individual to produce, the increased fragmentation project might not be a good thing for traditional media companies. From the Beginning Before launching Suzy, Matt Britton founded MRY, the New York-based digital and social media agency dedicated to memorable and inspiring brands. His first company, The Magma Group, a marketing services company, launched in 1998 when the Internet was beginning to transform commerce and communication. His first book, YouthNation: Building Remarkable Brands in a Youth-Driven Culture , explored the future of business and brand building in the youth-driven economy. And his latest book, Generation AI: Why Generation Alpha and the Age of AI Will Change explores this generation born into an AI-enabled work and how to navigate life in this world of technology. "Generation AI Why Generation Alpha and the Age of AI Will Change Everything" goes on sale on May 6. Suzy 'I think it remains to be seen if AI positive for our world. Was the Internet a good thing? Or social media? Or the iPhone? Some people that will tell you yes; some will say no,' noted Britton,' who in Generation AI refers to the 'decades of work that have gone into building the foundations that enable what is possible today.' 'AI could create harm, particularly anyone using it for the wrong reasons, and it could create opportunity. Love it or fear it, AI is revolutionizing our lives, both personally and professionally,' he said. 'And it has taken center stage in nearly every industry, where companies are revolutionizing the business landscape and creating new models.' 'Every time there's a new technological innovation or evolution, there's a lot of fear mongering and for good reason because I think AI is also going to create some negatives on society. But it almost doesn't matter because we're not going backwards and AI is here to stay.' 'It's only going to move forward,' he said. The unprecedented opportunities AI presents are addressed in new Matt Britton book "Generation AI: ... More Why Generation Alpha and the Age of AI Will Change Everything." Suzy
