Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed by graduates at the University of Arizona’s commencement when he warned that artificial intelligence would reshape the world, an incident that highlights growing campus anxiety about AI’s impact on jobs and education; similar jeers greeted other speakers such as a real‑estate executive at the University of Central Florida and a music‑industry CEO at Middle Tennessee State University, reflecting a broader unease among students who view AI as both a threat to their future and a barrier to intellectual development, prompting many to shift their studies toward critical‑thinking and human‑centric fields, while recent polls show roughly half of American adults are more concerned than excited about AI’s expanding role in daily life.
