Three-Way Seesaw: Balancing Technical Skills, Professionalism, and AI (S10:E8)

Send us Fan Mail In the past, educators worked with students to foster a balance of technical and professional skill sets.  Now, there is a third player, AI.  In a way we're now balancing a 3-way seesaw across technical skills, professionalism, and AI.  AI is changing the way we learn and work, but it’s only one piece of the food science toolkit. In this episode of Wolfing Down Food Science, Paige and Keith turn the conversation on themselves to explore how educators can prepare students for the real world by balancing AI and emerging technologies with hands-on laboratory training, critical thinking, communication, leadership, teamwork, and other professional skills. From deciding what to delegate to AI to mastering the instruments that keep our food safe, we dig into what students need to know, what technology can do, and why human judgment still matters.
