Big voices say we need to answer big questions!

Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks and a highly successful businessman, says study philosophy! 

In an interview in 2017, Mark Cuban said, “I’m going to make a prediction. In 10 years, a liberal arts degree in philosophy will be worth more than a traditional programming degree.” 

Cuban was considering the changes that advancing AI technology will provoke. Mark Cuban believes that life on Earth is bound to change very rapidly in the coming decades. 

“However much change you saw over the last 10 years with the iPhone, over the last 20 years with the Internet, over the last 30 years with PCs, etc., that is nothing. Nothing!”

Jobs that have been spared will be at risk.

Jobs like computer programming and accounting that require advanced technical skills are going to be automated away.

Mark Cuban explains, “What is happening now with artificial intelligence is we’ll start automating automation. Artificial intelligence won’t need you or I to do it, it will be able to figure out itself how to automate [tasks] over the next 10 to 15 years.

“Now the hard part isn’t whether or not it will change the nature of the work force – it will,” Cuban elaborates. “The question is, over the period of time that it happens, who will be displaced?”

Jonathan Rosenberg, advisor to Alphabet Inc., agrees with Mark Cuban.

In a CNBC article, Rosenberg says, “I think that Mark Cuban is right. We need more traditional liberal arts grads.”

Rosenberg believes that jobs with a high cognitive demand that require deep analytical thinking will be the most difficult for AI to replace.

Rosenberg recommends that people learn to think, “I would tell people to follow their passion, even if it’s in something that doesn’t have an obvious job prospect but teaches you how to think.”
