He contends that critical thinking, moral judgment, communication, and understanding of human complexity are precisely the skills AI cannot replace, and that these disciplines strengthen rather than dilute MIT's technical mission. New initiatives include the MIT Human Insight Collaborative (MITHIC), shared faculty positions with the Schwarzman College of Computing, a Music Technology and Computation Graduate Program, and new ethics-focused computing courses through SERC. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
