How AI Is Forcing Universities to Rethink Skills, Careers, and Trust

As AI learns to reason, create, and act, a deeper question emerges: what happens to human potential? In this Davos conversation, university presidents Joseph Aoun (Northeastern University) and Melissa Gilliam (Boston University) explore how AI is reshaping learning, careers, and opportunity—and what higher education must become in response. The discussion moves beyond tools and productivity to focus on skills, human agency, trust, and lifelong learning in an era of rapid change. They examine why AI literacy alone isn’t enough, how universities must rebalance human and machine agency, and why experiential learning, community, and critical thinking matter more than ever. The panel also confronts growing mistrust in institutions, rising inequality, and the urgent need for education systems that prepare people not just for jobs—but for continuous reinvention. A deeply human conversation about skills, pathways, and opportunity in the AI era.
