The crisis isn't that the humanities are dying—it's that we've failed to explain their value as AI reshapes work. As machines take over execution, the scarce skills shift to problem-framing, ethical judgment, and cultural understanding—core humanities strengths. Drawing on interviews with deans, tech leaders, and embedded humanist fellows, we trace how literature, philosophy, and history now solve costly AI failures and unlock competitive advantage. This episode reframes career advice, university strategy, and corporate hiring: humanistic thinking is not optional—it's strategic.
What We'll Discuss:
- 🧭 Problem-framing vs. AI execution
- 🧠 Ethical reasoning for AI deployment
- 📚 Humanities skills in tech roles
- 🏛️ University-industry hybrid programs
- 🤝 Embedded humanists in product teams
- 💼 Career advice for an AI world
