Getty ImagesAt a time when many professionals are worried that artificial intelligence could short circuit their careers, Advanced Micro Devices CEO Lisa Su has offered a bigger-picture perspective about the critical role humans will continue to play despite major technological advancements. In a recent commencement speech at her alma mater MIT, Su—who came in at No. 10 on Forbes’ 2025 list of the World’s Most Powerful Women—told graduates: “For everything that AI can do, AI can’t decide which problems are worth solving. It can’t make the hard judgments when the data is not there. It can’t take responsibility for the outcomes. These are actually our responsibilities and they matter now more than ever.”The tech CEO recounted other technology shifts of the past, including the birth of the internet, which changed how we communicate; mobile computing, which changed how we live; and cloud computing, which changed how we work. But unlike those previous developments, Su said that AI “has the potential to accelerate discovery in every field and help us solve problems that we’ve never been able to solve before.” Nevertheless, she added, “Technology itself does not decide what the future looks like—the best people do.” Read here to learn more about Su’s perspective on AI and why she says we don’t need more people who simply know how to use the tool—we need people who know how to apply it to solve big problems.

But a new Bank of America survey suggests that amid rising inflation, economic uncertainty, a tough job market and a culture that promotes social sharing, Gen Z adults are far more transparent with friends about what they earn, what they can afford and the financial stresses they face. According to the survey, 27% of Gen Z adults (aged 18 to 29) reported they talk specifically about their salary or income with friends, compared to 20% of millennials, 12% of Gen X, and just 3% of baby boomers. When looking at the data overall, 60% of the Gen Zers reported having some money conversations with friends, as did 62% of millennials, while only 46% of Gen Xers and 29% of baby boomers said they talked money with friends.Holly O’Neill, president of consumer, retail and preferred at Bank of America, emphasized that Gen Z’s openness reflects a cultural shift, as well as an economic reality. As wages struggle to keep pace with the cost of living, and as financial anxiety grows for young professionals who struggle to find work, Gen Z is increasingly treating money conversations as less of a private matter and more of a tool for surviving and navigating today’s economic climate. O’Neill suggests these conversations, if they become more common in the workplace, could lead to fairer pay and equity.TOUCH BASENews from the world of work.

If passed, federal loans would only be preserved for programs where college graduates earn more than the average person with a high school diploma.
