WATERLOO, Iowa (KCRG) – Despite a new report from major global investment bank Goldman Sachs, nearly 300 million full-time jobs said AI could replace it.
“I have never personally been worried about AI taking over the prospects of future work,” said current business student Macy Lyon. “I'm just working with people and organizations that are mostly good, so it's about going on a marketing or management route for the majors.”
The university currently offers degree in applied science or business management associates for AAS.
Program leaders say it is different from other business degrees because they appeal to non-traditional students.
“You're already at work and you just want to move your career forward. If you want to be a completely online program, you'll want to be completely online. You can also have some of your classes face to face if you want to be in person.”
Both students and staff say this aspect of learning helps save money by replacing those employment opportunities with AI.
“To be honest, I think AI will help make the process more efficient and allow you to really connect with people,” Lyon said.
