In a recent article for the Toronto Star, Roberta Iannacito-Provenzano (Toronto Metropolitan University) discusses the impact of AI and automation on perceptions of the value of a university degree. While questions circle the value of higher ed, she explains, government and industry leaders are making decisions about the future of work. To underscore the importance of that decision-making process, she asserts that at universities, “students cultivate the skills and mindsets that shape societies and future-proof careers: critical reasoning, ethical judgment, creativity, collaboration and communication.” She concludes by stating that the future of Canada and technology will depend on the leadership of today’s graduates.
