""STEM practically took over Stanford University. Now maybe what we'll see is a rotation, you know, back to the humanities and to understanding [the] combination of history and literature.""
""If I had a three-year-old today, I would be doubling down on the emotional skills.""
""There's a substantial chance that while many companies will have reduced software engineering employment, there'll be many other opportunities for more software.""
Reed Hastings, cofounder of Netflix, studied AI and computer science in the 1980s. He predicts the current AI revolution will transform education, emphasizing the humanities. Hastings notes that STEM fields dominated universities like Stanford, but he anticipates a shift back to subjects like history and literature. He also highlights the importance of emotional skills for future generations. The job market for tech graduates is changing, with fewer opportunities for early-career software engineers, though Hastings remains optimistic about new roles emerging in the software industry.
