When students stop betting on education

And so it is about the immediate, I need to pay my rent, I need to buy food, and that's perhaps how I get involved.

Jerome SeptemberGUEST
The other side to that and the bigger danger here is, of course, that by the time many young people get to university, they've already been exposed to gambling, right? And it's because there's a much bigger ecosystem that's being created.

Bongani BingwaHOST
I mean, what happens when a generation, an entire generation stops believing that things like hard work and patience and dedication and, of course, education are the real changes of your circumstances?

Jeremy MaggsHOST
So how are universities, I wonder, responding without resisting technology on the one hand but also adopting it uncritically? And I think uncritically is the keyword.

Jerome SeptemberGUEST
And we as a university, we've gotta embrace that, and we've gotta move beyond the point of fear and embrace AI fully.

Jerome SeptemberGUEST
But as Leslie-Ann says, what are the skills that students are now taught to ask the deeper questions? So do I simply accept what I'm given by ChatGPT, or do I critically analyze? Do I look deeper? What sort of questions do I ask, the prompts that I put in that perhaps gives me a certain answer? And so how do we teach our young people around those things? The second thing, and we do this with a first-year class during orientation already, right? Part of it is then this idea of academic integrity.

Jerome SeptemberGUEST
So to what extent am I using the AI in a ethical way, in a way that upholds our values, the integrity, and so on? So do I acknowledge that this is someone else's work, and how do I acknowledge that? And then it's about the human skills, the critical thinking, the resilience, the deeper questioning, the analyzing.

So what you're saying is that there is a risk that future skills conversation becomes too narrow if it is simply focused on immediate employability.
