-ai is expected to automate certain tasks and replace jobs, but the human element is still crucial in many areas, including the arts and social sciences, according to a speech delivered by Walter Isaccson, a 1955 graduate of the Temple University College of Liberal Arts, to the school’s class of 2025. -While technology has made massive strides in language models, computers are still unable to replicate authentic human connection, he said. -The human element is the key differentiator that will enable new graduates to thrive in a world of ai, he added. -Isaacson, a former chief executive of CIA and former chairman of CNN, also advised the students to emphasise human traits and skills in their work, such as creativity, empathy and humour, which are impossible for ai to replicate.
