Why AI Makes a Liberal Arts Education Even More Invaluable
In this opinion piece, Robin H. Holmes-Sullivan, president of Lewis & Clark writes: “It may seem counterintuitive, but in a time of economic uncertainty, national division and increased technological reliance, those who are inclined to pursue a degree from a liberal arts college should take heart. Choosing to sharpen your skills as a thinker, communicator, creator and problem-solver has never been a better bet – because machines don’t actually have ‘intelligence.’ Only humans do. And “artificial intelligence” is exactly that: an artificial version of what can only be the unique human ability to lead, advocate, speak, write, design, create, feel, empathize, envision and innovate. In fact, in our increasingly AI-driven world, professional and personal success depends on nurturing that which makes us human.
