And this is only the beginning.

I wonder what a good white-collar career path will be post-AI? What is your opinion on this?

It's probably mostly not about AI, but because of US foreign politics.

Many foreigners stay away and some US students decide to study abroad.

Very few people are paying their way to MIT's graduate programs, so it's not as if it's a matter of AI scaring people into not paying for expensive education or anything. Graduate programs are full of international students that used them as ways to enter the US job market. With that road getting harder for a variety of policy decisions, there's just less reasons to consider it.

Now, if you want AI-influenced decisions, that might have to do with undergrads and expensive institutions. If you are a high school senior now, and you aren't getting major rebates, you have to consider whether a degree at an expensive college, which might be be a quarter million dollars sticker, is going to be all that wise of an investment. If AI really has a big effect on hiring knowledge workers, any bet you make can be quite wrong. But this isn't affecting MIT, Harvard or Yale, which could fill their freshmen classes 100 times over with very good students if they felt like it. It's just deadly for 2nd and 3rd rate liberal arts schools though, as high prices, the international student drought and fewer american children are just wrecking havoc.

But again, the AI bits just don't matter to top schools like MIT in the slightest. Too much demand of American students for undergrad.

Nothing to do with AI here, it's about immigration.

This isn't about AI, it's about research funding and what the guys in charge think about science and education.

How big is MIT’s endowment? They really still need to be at the taxpayer trough?

This isn't because of AI. It's the current anti-immigration policies.

The same as it was before AI. AI is a bubble which isn't going to fundamentally change anything about society, because the tech simply does not do what is promised. Eventually, CEOs will stop being able to deny reality and AI will crash and burn.

This is about Trump, not AI
