Kevin Mane cites a Princeton University research paper which argues that AI is a breakthrough technology similar to electricity or the internet, and its full organizational adoption will take a long time.

Kevin Mane predicts that within 3 to 5 years, access to AI will become ubiquitous for all companies, shifting the competitive advantage to the unique contributions and creativity of human employees.

Kevin Mane argues that as AI automates "last mile" intellectual work like basic coding, education must shift focus from teaching rote tool usage to developing creative thinking and problem-solving skills, making a liberal arts education more valuable.
