The boos aimed at AI at last spring's graduations suggested a student backlash. A 3-year survey of business students tells a different story: AI use has become routine, employers are pulling for it, and students want to be taught to use it well, not shielded from it.

Seriously. The business classes I took in college were the most ridiculous bullshit ever. "To run a successful business you need to sell your products for more than it costs to produce them". Oh my god, what a revelation! Thank you business school.
