In China's AI era, one professor says your degree matters less than your skill
For decades in China, which university accepted you decided a lot about your career before it even started. In a recent lecture, Duke sociologist Bai Gao argued that AI is starting to loosen that link: when AI can test what you can actually do, a degree from a lesser known school starts to matter less than the ability you can show. He points to this as a possible opening for students from schools that have always had fewer resources and fewer connections.
For youHowever you're building your career, look for ways to show what you can actually do (a project, a portfolio, a real result) rather than leaning only on where you studied. That's the currency this shift rewards.
