About this episode

For today's undergraduates, the impact of artificial intelligence on the jobs market means massive job uncertainty. So how should young people prepare themselves for the unknown unknowns of a career in the age of AI?

"The uncertainty will be overwhelming for a fraction of them, but I think for a fraction of them they will look back in 10 years and say this was a period of such great opportunity," says Arun Sundararajan, a professor of entrepreneurship, technology operations and statistics at New York University's Stern School of Business.

This episode was co-produced with China's CGTN and co-hosted by Xin Guan, CGTN anchor and chief business news editor.
