Kunal Shah urges grads learn AI
Shah warned that new grads might struggle to land jobs as AI takes over basic tasks.
He encouraged young people to quickly pick up new AI skills and become experts, saying, "Everybody is on their own," so waiting for someone else to solve it isn't an option.
He also mentioned these challenges could get tougher by 2027 as AI keeps advancing.
