This graduation season, a ritual played out on campuses from Tucson to Orlando: a speaker mentions artificial intelligence, and the caps-and-gowns crowd erupts in boos.
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt got it at the University of Arizona. A real estate executive got it at the University of Central Florida, where one graduate even shouted “AI sucks!” into a microphone. A Nashville music executive at Middle Tennessee State told students to “deal with it.” The videos went viral within hours.
