He also described entertainment, art, and sports as emotional domains that are not “the big thrust of the AI world.”\nHastings suggested education may swing back toward disciplines that train people to understand stories, history and how humans relate to one another. \n“If I had a three-year-old today, I would be like doubling down on the emotional skills,” he said.\nHastings said the past two decades elevated STEM and coding as must-have skills, but he now sees signs of saturation. \n“As everyone sees that coding is overdone, my guess is we’ll see that STEM is overdone,” he said.\nEarlier, Elon Musk said universal high-income payments could offset AI-driven job losses if automation boosts output enough, though Sanjeev Sanyal criticized the idea as economically risky.\nBill Gates added that AI was already reshaping work and could eventually shorten the workweek, urging policymakers to prepare for economic changes without backing a single solution.\nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.\nPhoto Courtesy: catwalker on Shutterstock.com\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.42.0","shortVersion":"4.42.0","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2630922366","isCrawlerRequest":true}
