Abstract

"We are entering an era of unimaginable change.

Artificial Intelligence is transforming how we work, learn, create, and think. It’s reshaping higher education—and pushing many to ask: Is college still worth it? Are degrees still necessary?

Those questions are real. And I welcome them.

But I also know this: no machine can replace the moment a family claps through tears when their loved one walks the stage."
