Eric Schmidt Gets BOOED by 9,000 Students for Pushing AI, And Here's Why

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed repeatedly by nearly 9,000 graduating students at the University of Arizona after telling them to ""accept AI"" and ""find a way to say yes."" In Episode 49 of Silicon Valley Front Row, hosts Steve Ispas and David Lam break down the viral moment clip by clip — and ask the question nobody in Silicon Valley wants to answer: are tech executives lying to the next generation about AI and jobs?

Steve and David also dive into Artisan AI's controversial ""Stop Hiring Humans"" ad campaign, the growing debate over AI use in college assignments, and whether anyone can actually tell the difference between human and AI-written content anymore.

The Class of 2026 is entering one of the toughest job markets in recent memory — and they're not buying what the billionaires are selling. Are they right to be skeptical?

Do you think the students' reaction was warranted? Can tech CEOs be trusted when they say AI won't take jobs? Drop your thoughts below!
