Gen Z is pushing back against AI – a reminder to all of us that the future isn’t written

Martin Scorsese's decision to join an AI company sparked online backlash, with critics arguing AI could 'ruin cinema.' This follows reports of university graduates booing speakers who praised AI at commencement ceremonies, including Gloria Caulfield and Scott Borchetta. While some, like former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, promote AI as transformative, younger generations—particularly Gen Z—are resisting its integration. Studies indicate Gen Z doubts AI's benefits to creativity and learning, viewing it as a threat to their futures. In contrast, baby boomers, who experienced technological transitions from typewriters to computers, view AI as a valuable tool that improves efficiency. However, younger people argue that the same systems that benefited boomers now undermine labor stability, making the call to 'adapt' feel unfair.
