Key Takeaways Experts recommend three majors for students who want to thrive in an AI-dominated workplace. None of these majors mention AI; one expert said AI was “too narrow” of a field to major in. Computer science also didn’t make the list because of high unemployment rates. What would you study if you were in college today?
