Manuel, a fellow student of Vena’s, shared an important life decision: why he chose to return to school after working for many years. Manuel said that AI is completely changing the world, especially the workplace. If we don’t actively upgrade ourselves, we may be eliminated by the times. He returned to university not for a diploma, but to seize the opportunities brought by AI instead of getting left behind.
