EP91 - The Future is Now: AI and Academic Careers w/ Paula Cipriano

YouTube

In this episode, we start with a central question: will the degree we choose today still exist, as we know it, in 10 years’ time?

From there, we explore the growing impact of AI on degree choices, on the skills most valued by the labour market, and on the professions that are emerging, evolving or even disappearing.

Throughout the conversation, we analyse how certain fields of knowledge are changing more rapidly than others due to the development of Artificial Intelligence, as well as the emergence of new branches of study and research driven by these technologies. We also discuss which technical and human skills students should begin developing now, and to what extent technological transformation should influence the choice of an academic pathway.

The episode also addresses the balance between technical training and transferable skills, such as critical thinking, ethics and adaptability, in a context where automation and algorithms are gaining increasing prominence. We also look at the sectors and professions that may be most impacted by AI in the coming years, both positively and negatively.
