Jamie Merisotis on AI, Higher Education and the Future of Work

What does the future of education look like in an era defined by Artificial Intelligence, workplace disruption and changing attitudes about the value of a college degree? On this episode, Gerry Dick sits down with Lumina Foundation CEO Jamie Merisotis to explore the seismic shifts reshaping higher education, workforce development and the global economy. Merisotis offers a wide-ranging perspective on how universities, employers and states must adapt to a rapidly evolving future, diving into the growing influence of AI, the changing definition of workforce readiness, and the debate over the value of a four-year degree.
