That means pedagogies that emphasize active and experiential learning, that show students how to take advantage of these new technologies, and that produce graduates who can do those things that the tools can’t. In peering ahead to determine which skills would most likely be prized in this onrushing future, Mintz referred to the work of Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, a funny and rambunctious young organizational psychologist whose books have titles such as Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders? Mintz agreed with Chamorro-Premuzic that humans could thrive alongside AI by: (1) specializing in asking the best ques- tions, (2) learning insights or skills that are not available in the “training data” used by the deep learning networks, and (3) turning insights into actions. Reid: GPT-4, do you agree that these will remain dis- tinctive human capabilities even as your own capabili- ties grow? GPT-4: I agree.
