Rob Hillard, the CEO of Deloitte Asia-Pacific, argues that universities are inadequately preparing students for an AI-driven job market by teaching them to view AI as cheating rather than a beneficial tool. In a recent interview, he noted that this negative perception leaves graduates unprepared for the evolving workplace. A Gallup–Lumina survey of around 3,800 students revealed that 42% feel their schools discourage AI use, with 11% reporting outright bans. Despite these restrictions, a significant majority of students, 57%, still utilize AI for their coursework at least weekly. As professional services firms like Deloitte increasingly adopt AI to automate routine tasks, the demand for graduates who can effectively engage with AI tools is growing. Hillard highlighted that Deloitte is hiring record numbers of graduates and investing heavily in their training to adapt to this technological shift. However, the integration of AI is also prompting firms to rethink entry-level roles, with some firms reducing hiring as AI takes over tasks traditionally performed by junior staff.
