Research shows that even undergraduate students lack these basic skills. Some are not accurate at judging the reliability of information sources or managing the quantity of material available. This is a particularly critical skill in the time of AI where fake news is so easy to produce and spread. Some do not have the skills to collaborate or work in teams, especially not through digital technologies. How can we then expect them to work with different types of AI?

Automation, rapidly advancing due to artificial intelligence, is changing the nature of work resulting in the disappearance of many jobs and the creation of new categories of work. Most jobs are expected to undergo changes that will increasingly require work with AI. A well-known example is the use of AI to assist doctors in diagnostics. However, no job is safe from the impact of AI as many other common jobs, including car mechanics and farming will involve its use. This trend of changing job types and job skills will only accelerate in coming years.
