Purdue University will require AI competency for all undergraduates starting in 2026. This mandate requires demonstrated skills in field-relevant AI tools and aims to bolster employability amid the rise of artificial intelligence, according to Purdue. Disney's agreement with OpenAI includes just a one-year exclusivity window, per BitcoinWorld. CEO Bob Iger is planning for “open season” on AI partnerships after 2026.
A survey by Mahidol University International College (MUIC) indicates that Thailand's labour market is rapidly evolving, with 90% of employers seeking candidates with artificial intelligence skills.
