AI Takes Over Summer Internships, Colleges Scramble to Keep Up
AI is taking over summer internships, and colleges are scrambling to keep up. Universities are replacing traditional internships with AI tools that let students practice job skills virtually. This shift is happening fast, with some schools saying it's the future of career prep. But critics argue that students, especially Brown ones, will miss out on the chance to build real-world connections and experience. Some colleges are pushing back, saying there's no substitute for hands-on learning.
Why this matters for us: Our primos need real-world experience to compete in the job market, not just AI training.
