President Tania Tetlow spoke with U.S. News & World Report about why the liberal arts matter more than ever in the age of AI.
“In this changing economy, the jobs that will survive will be those that require the most human of skills. Ironically, the most technical and pragmatic professions are the easiest to replace with technology.”
“We teach those human skills in the liberal arts, especially the critical thinking necessary to question an algorithm. Through literature and art, we teach empathy and emotional intelligence necessary for leadership and teamwork. And we help students build the moral compass to navigate a new world.”
