Education › Students Who Can Think Beyond The Machine by WorkTheTalk(op): 8:28am On May 12
In AI World, the Future Belongs to Students Who Can Think Beyond the Machine

By Ashish Dhawan and Pramath Raj Sinha

“What should I really study? Will the degree I am pursuing matter in five years? Ten years?”

These questions about the careers best suited for students today are being asked in classrooms, families, and counseling sessions. They are not new, but they are becoming more urgent.

The unease comes from the pressure of too much changing at once. AI deepens that unease, but the underlying question is older. It is about education itself and what students need to carry into a working life that none of us can fully predict.

AI is now a fact of daily life, including in the workplace. Job roles are being reorganized, tasks and workflows redistributed among teams and tools, turnaround times are getting shorter, and expectations of productivity are rising.

This is becoming visible across different kinds of work. In design, for example, a field once thought to belong exclusively to human intuition, generative tools are already improving output quality and freeing time for higher-order creativity. Similarly, in financial services, there is increasing focus on the responsible deployment of AI and its institutional integration.

Used actively and with intention, AI is more than a productivity tool. It expands what a single person can take on. A young professional fluent in digital tools for research, analysis, and execution can now do work that once required an entire team.

Think of AI as a huge, tireless brain holding answers to almost any question. But what to ask, within which constraints, and what to look for in the answer are the parts only humans can direct. Framing the right problem requires giving AI the right history, context, and concerns. The quality of the answer is ultimately governed by the quality of the question.

For curious minds, this creates an extraordinary opportunity: to expand learning, go deeper across topics, and follow ideas further than ever before.

While AI is increasingly becoming an always-available collaborator for defined activities, the center of meaningful work lies elsewhere — in why what we do matters and to what end.

The mission behind work exists on a completely different level. A healthcare company helps people stay well. A school teaches a child how to think. An agri-tech firm enables a farmer to earn more from the same patch of land. These are inquiries into the world and the human beings who live in it. They demand understanding of context and a real stake in outcomes.

Global tech leaders developing AI acknowledge this too. AI can support work. It can generate options, identify patterns, and accelerate decisions. But choices in the real world carry real consequences. That accountability remains human.

The questions students should be asking today are neither simple nor easy:

What change do I want to see in my community, my city, or my country?
How do I want to contribute?
And why?

These questions shape the interests and passions of young people who, motivated by the mission they want to be part of, will go on to build India and its future.

This is what great universities have always made possible. The transition from school to college is a transition into a more complex and heterogeneous world. A student leaves home, lives among peers from different states and backgrounds, and steps into spaces where ideas are debated openly and challenged critically. That experience is formative in a way no tool can replace.

AI is at its best when it is helpful and efficient. College is where you learn to be tested. When digital tools can produce comprehensive answers with a single click, the patience, discipline, and occasional discomfort of working out an answer for yourself become more valuable, not less.

Employers agree. Beyond AI fluency, entry-level hiring still prioritizes timeless human capabilities for a fast-changing world: structured problem-solving, data literacy, intellectual humility, credible judgment, and clear communication.

As student outcomes continue to matter, parents too are beginning to ask important questions: about real-world exposure, how technology is being integrated into learning, and whether their children will be prepared for a dynamic workplace that even adults are still learning to navigate.

The adjustment Indian universities now need to make lies in how they teach, what they assess, and how they prepare students for a constantly changing market. Treating AI as merely another elective is not the answer. Neither is narrowing education to only what seems immediately rewarding.

Instead, education must be rebuilt around holistic learning, critical reasoning, and breadth. Breadth does not mean dilution. It means awareness across domains, the instinct to connect ideas, and the ability to think and write clearly.

The market itself reinforces this reality. People today change roles and industries far more often than earlier generations did. What stays with them is a way of thinking and working — marked by judgment, clarity, adaptability, and the readiness to continue learning and building new skills.

India today has one of the world’s largest and youngest workforces. That is a unique advantage if students can collaborate meaningfully with technology while continuing to strengthen their fundamental human abilities: recognizing which problems are worth solving, maintaining quality, bringing people together, and having the vision to grow.

A good education has always demanded exactly this from its students. AI does not change that ambition. It simply raises the stakes of meeting it.

Nice one. Hopefully it is not a propaganda for electoral votes.

Politics › Re: Sultan: Those Who Kill People While Shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ Will Go To Hell by WorkTheTalk(m):
ogododo:
...the muslims terrorists are not in a hurry and are not planning anything like decimating the population of Christians in Nigeria...
Remember this is how it started in Turkey, the same Taqiyya and denials until it happened....
The region that is now Turkey was historically a major center of Christianity for many centuries before becoming predominantly Muslim. Around 1000 AD, Christians population was roughly 90–98%. Today modern Turkey’s population is about 85–86 million, the christian population is now roughly 0.15%–0.25%.

There are good muslims in Nigeria who don't support killings of innocent people, whether christians or muslims. However, the terrorists (Boko Haram, Islamic State West Africa Province, Ansaru, Lakurawa, etc) which the Sultan always refuse to call by their names are the Islamic jihadists at the forefront to decimate christians in Nigeria. We all know where their inspirations and financial supports come from.

Politics › Re: President Tinubu To Embark On A Three-Nation Trip by WorkTheTalk(m):
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will depart Abuja on Saturday, May 2, on a three nation-trip visit to France to see his doctors to "charge his battery" The medical routines will last for 21 days. Reason being that the Nigerian health system under his rulershp isn't good enough. Same format the other APC president used for 8 years till he finally "kpai" in a UK hospital, with the cause of the "kpai" unknown.

As of April 2025, Bola Ahmed Tinubu had visited France 8 times since becoming president in May 2023. He is embarking on another trip to France (May 2026). That is about 9 visits since assuming office. Reports consistently show France is his most visited country. He has spent the highest number of foreign days there (about 89 days).

Since Bola Ahmed Tinubu became president in May 2023, the French president has not visited him in Nigeria even for one day.

There has never been light in the pathway of a rogue. Everything is shrouded in darkness.

Go and find out who owns Alpha Beta that is in charge of revenue collection is Lagos State. I heard 40% of the revenues belongs to the owner of Alpha Beta, the lord who single-handedly chooses every govern who governs Lagos State since 2007.

Do not be surprised that 40% or more of Nigerian money is in his private bank account.

STOP SPREADING LIES....

NIGERIAS TOTAL EXTERNAL DEBT JUNE 2023 WAS $43.1B
AS AT DECEMBER 2025 IT WAS $51.8

DATS ABOUT $8B IN 2YRS 7MONTHS

EVEN IF TINUBU CONTINUED BORROWING AT DIS RATE HE WOULD AT WORST DO $24B IN 8YRS.

WHICH IS LESS THAN PMB $33B IN 8YRS

ND ALSO LESS DAN THE $65B RESERVE ND EXCESS CRUDE MONEY WASTED BY GEJ ND YAR ADUA IN 8YRS

NOT ALSO FORGETTING GEJ ND YAR ADUA EARNED $56B CRUDE OIL REVENUE ANNUALLY DURING D OIL WINDFALL PERIOD.
Forget all these copy and paste lies.
How is food price in your local market? How much is fuel price in your town? How many hours do you have electricity supply in a week?
How is the security situation in the country, better or worse? You should have some shame. Instead of copy and paste fake statistics, why not talk about the positive achievements of the drug lord?

Politics › Re: Workers’ Day: Atiku Faults Nigerian Government Over Worsening Economic Hardship by WorkTheTalk(m):
Tinubu removed:
1. Fuel subsidies,
2. Forex subsidies
3. Electricity subsidies.
4. He has taxed Nigerians more heavily than past administrations, yet has borrowed more than previous governments combined.

The funds are misappropriated. This is no longer looting; this is sheer wickedness and greed. He as no solution for Nigeria economic woes he has caused us. It's even worse than what we witnessed during Buhari.

We are now paying a heavy price for allowing a known bullion van politician and drug lord to snatch his way into power.
