Before the arrival of the AI era, higher education focused on cultivating skills, which is also the primary means for most middle-class people to make a living. Learning a skill and continuously refining it, with income determined by the level of labor added value.

However, with the large-scale application of artificial intelligence, automation will replace most people's mental and physical labor, because most human labor is essentially repetitive to some extent.
Therefore, as a new wave of industrial revolution represented by AI arrives, people should strengthen the development of their irreplaceable abilities, such as:
Leadership:
Internal management, assessing talent and personnel
External strategic decision-making, evaluating situational judgment
Creativity:
Assessing divergent thinking skills
Influence:
Evaluating cognitive expression ability and personal charisma
All of this depends on thinking and understanding the underlying social and human nature logic. Therefore, in the context of the new era, the subjects we should truly study diligently might be philosophy.
