He told the crowd that they all already have “AI,” which he then revealed stood for “Actual Intelligence.” He also joked around comparing tech development to making a human brain, pointing out that it takes engineers 9 months to actually make one. This is actually the third time in just a couple of weeks that AI has been brought up at US graduation ceremonies. To put it in perspective, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt got heavily booed by students at the University of Arizona for hyping up the technology. Schmidt was talking about how AI is going to change every single job, classroom, and hospital, and the grads were just not having it. Another speaker got a similar bad reaction when talking about tech progress. These totally different reactions show how stressed out graduates are right now about the job market and the fear of tech replacing their careers. Wozniak’s angle focused more on individual talent and human value over digital algorithms, which is obviously a way better narrative for people just entering the workforce. He wrapped up his speech telling the students to always try to think differently and not just follow everyone else’s footsteps.
