I don’t really get the dismissive comments here. Universities have had gen ed requirements for years, one of which is usually something to do with computers. AI seems to be a technology that will be increasingly relevant…so a basic gen ed requirement seems logical.

The problem is the field is changing way too fast. It's almost certain that whatever they'll learn will be outdated/wrong/poor practice by the time they graduate. Just compare with the state of things 2 years ago.

The same problem is in many fields. I don’t see the issue.
