Good morning.<\/strong> You\u2019d think more commencement speakers would ask their AI chatbot of choice how today\u2019s college graduates feel about artificial intelligence before declaring it the future while the ink is still drying on the grads\u2019 degrees.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a rough couple of weeks. Real estate executive Gloria Caulfield was the first to prominently step into the muck at the University of Central Florida. Then came former Google CEO Eric Schmidt at the University of Arizona and Big Machine CEO Scott Borchetta at Middle Tennessee State. All endured waves of boos for their focus on AI.<\/p>\n

If you read the transcripts, the speakers were (mostly) trying to give agency to their audience at a time of great transformation. But they didn\u2019t read the room. Today\u2019s grads don\u2019t want to hear about technology; they want to hear about themselves.<\/p>\n

The gold standard for this, of course, is Steve Jobs at Stanford in 2005. The late Apple co-founder only mentions the word \u201ctechnology\u201d once in 15 minutes, opting instead to share three personal stories. \u201cDon\u2019t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people\u2019s thinking,\u201d he advises at one point. Little did he know how much the Class of 2026 would take that to heart. \u2014Andrew Nusca<\/p>\n

AI was <\/span>the overwhelming focus<\/span> during two hours of keynote presentations delivered by executives at Google\u2019s annual developer conference, Google I\/O, in Silicon Valley on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a very visible sign of how important AI has become to the $4.7 trillion company, Google said it was redesigning the iconic search box to be larger (to better accommodate natural language queries) and facilitate the use of AI agents for complex research projects.<\/span><\/p>\n
