The rise of artificial intelligence is prompting college students to second-guess their career paths. Students say that picking a major that’s AI-proof feels like shooting at a moving target, as they try to prepare for a job market that is changing rapidly. A surge of recent polls show that college students see AI as a threat to their job prospects, particularly those majoring in technology-related fields. Until recently, the narrative that guided many students was that learning to code would lead to good jobs. But students who followed that path and are now majoring in computer science, analytics and other popular STEM majors fear that AI is taking entry-level jobs.

A paddle-wielding robot is so adept at playing table tennis that it is posing a tough challenge to elite human players and sometimes defeating them, according to a new study in the journal Nature that shows how advances in artificial intelligence are making robots more agile. Japanese electronics giant Sony built the robotic arm it calls Ace and pitted it against professional athletes. Ace proved a worthy adversary, though one with some non-human attributes: nine camera eyes positioned around the court and an uncanny ability to follow the ball’s logo to measure its spin.
