- The AI pioneer told Business Insider that CS educations encompass far more than coding and will “be valuable for quite a long time.”
- He said competent mid-level programming roles are unlikely to remain viable careers because AI can already do that work.
- He recommended prioritizing mathematics, statistics, probability theory, linear algebra, and systems thinking to build resilient careers.
- He encouraged middle and high school students to learn to code as an intellectual discipline, likening it to studying Latin even if AI does most implementation.
- He also said Google is beginning to overtake OpenAI, while figures like Bret Taylor and Sameer Samat press for CS programs centered on problem-solving.
