Microsoft President Brad Smith says the recent backlash against AI from college students should be “a powerful wake-up call for the tech sector.”
Smith said young people aren’t against the technology itself, they’re worried about being replaced by it.
“To those in the tech sector who seemingly want to pursue a future where computers replace jobs, and AI becomes more capable than people, the next generation has offered a compelling response: ‘Not so fast,’”
He also said graduates are “telling us what we need to hear,” arguing that AI should help people do their jobs better, not take those jobs away.
