Rise of the AI graduates: DailyMail.com speaks to one of the first students to study artificial intelligence as universities begin offering 30,000 courses - but is it a cash grab or valuable degree?

Colleges across the US have added AI courses to their curriculum as companies scramble to find skilled employees and students look for higher paying fields. While much of the world sees the tech as the way of the future, some people have cautioned students to not gamble tens of thousands of dollars on technology that seems to evolve each day. Tiffany Hsieh, who works in the development of AI told, DailyMail.com: 'While there is plenty of data telling us about the number of skills that will be affected by Generative AI, much of that data doesn't tell us about the nature of the impact on those skills. But a graduate student majoring in the tech at New York's Yeshiva University said he believes AI is here to stay and the degree would be necessary for him to become a machine language engineer, which pays at least 160,000 a year.
