Wozniak urged graduates to value human judgment as he briefly interrupted the ceremony with a six-word message on AI.

  • Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak addressed Grand Valley State University graduates on Monday, reframing the artificial intelligence debate in six words. The commencement address shifted the conversation regarding the emerging technology.
  • Previous speakers at the University have faced hostile reactions regarding artificial intelligence, with some facing booing or protests that forced them to stop speeches mid-address.
  • Wozniak received authentic cheering from thousands of graduates, a sharp departure from the rejection that has marred similar artificial intelligence discussions at other institutions recently.
  • Avoiding detached warnings, Wozniak successfully engaged students by providing a unique perspective that was conspicuously missing from public discourse regarding their uncertain future.
  • Discussions regarding artificial intelligence remain a challenge for the University, as institutions struggle to address student concerns without triggering the backlash seen elsewhere.
