In an AI-driven world, humanities education is more essential than ever to help students build essential skills, writes Eric Stano for University Business. Stano argues that as AI grows more ubiquitous, students will need the critical, ethical, and interpersonal skills cultivated by the humanities to thrive. From ethical reasoning and empathy to interdisciplinary thinking and clear communication, Stano argues that the humanities provide the “platform-agnostic” capacities that enable students not just to use AI, but to lead wisely in an AI-driven world. “Machines may be getting smarter,” Stano concludes, “but we need the humanities to ensure that our students are getting wiser.”
