MOHE targets 30,000 AI graduates by 2030, mistaking volume for value in future skills.
FO Take · Score 25
Another government blindly chasing AI "graduates", conflating certifications with genuine expertise. The future workforce needs adaptable minds, not just algorithm regurgitators. This focus on raw numbers ignores the critical need for deep, ethical understanding and critical thinking in AI. We are educating for yesterday’s problems, not tomorrow’s complex challenges. Will these numbers translate into innovation, or just unemployment statistics?
The strongest counter
Increasing AI graduates addresses a critical skills gap, bolstering national competitiveness and economic growth. Quantity precedes quality in emerging fields.
