AI can never replace humans, but upskilling is essential, says Dr. S. Rajesh, Director of Saveetha Engineering College
AI cannot replace humans, but humans need to upskill themselves and have a different set of skills to thrive in this AI era, said Dr. S. Rajesh, Director of Saveetha Engineering College . He was in conversation with The Times of India on the topic, 'Preparing students for international careers and preparing engineers for Industry 5.0'. Explaining that AI is just another tool, he said, 'AI can never be as sensitive as humans, and it cannot have emotions like humans. So, AI cannot replace humans. But humans need to upskill themselves and have a different set of skills to thrive in the world.' Times Conversations with Dr. S. Rajesh, Director of Saveetha Engineering College At a time when AI is taking over all aspects of our lives, emotional intelligence is vital for everyone, especially Gen Z and Gen Alpha , he said. Referring to a book titled '21 Skills for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari', he said, 'The author stresses the importance of emotional intelligence, including resilience and adaptability. Technology is changing every day, and skills that students have learned will become irrelevant, so much so that they may have to adapt to new jobs, new technologies throughout their lives. Lifelong learning becomes vital. For this, emotional intelligence is the backbone in today's era.' Emotional intelligence, resilience, adaptability, and soft skills become as important as technological skills in today's era, he said, adding that individuals should be equipped to use AI tools and possess emotional intelligence and soft skills to thrive in the 21st century. Talking about the industrial revolution, Rajesh said that Industry 5.0 is all about making Industry 4.0 technologies like AI, robotics, and IoT as human-centric, ethical, and empathetic as possible for a sustainable future. Explaining the importance of interdisciplinary learning, he said, 'Just having skills in computer science or AI is not going to help anyone. Individuals should have knowledge of one or two domains in addition to AI skills. For instance, an engineer should know about banking, fintech, or the finance market to develop an AI tool for the finance market.' Recalling the times when humanities and arts and science courses were losing their charm and everybody wanted to become engineers, he said that the humanities are making a comeback in the AI era since AI is going to do most of the coding and other tasks. 'To thrive in this era, humans need to have a different kind of skill set. We will need engineers who are emotionally intelligent, good in humanities, and have domain knowledge. People should have a balance of all these three domains,' he added. Earlier, T-shaped learning was considered important, where students were expected to have broad knowledge of everything and deep knowledge of any one aspect, he said, adding that these days, students are expected to have broad knowledge of many things and deep knowledge of quite a few things, and this is called comb-shaped learning. AI turns out to be a useful tool to acquire skills. 'Learning will improve exponentially during one-to-one tutoring. But, with the Indian population and economics, it does not allow everyone to have a personalized tutor. But with the advent of AI, it has become possible,' he explained. AI can always help and support humans but never replace them, he said. Quoting the CEO of Google DeepMind , Demis Hassabis , he said, 'Hassabis tells us AI can help in drug discoveries and personalized treatments, and it is not very far. Within a decade or so, AI will help us to live a healthy and happy life.' Hinting that educational institutions are grappling to catch up with evolving technologies, Rajesh said that they should have the intent and attitude to change and adapt to new technologies. At Saveetha Engineering College, they have adopted lifelong learning as the philosophy of their curriculum, and it means nothing but learning how to learn, he said, explaining that whatever technology a student learns is going to become irrelevant by the time they graduate, and the only skill that a student can learn is lifelong learning. This skill – lifelong learning – cannot be taught; instead, it needs to be self-learned, he said, adding that students at their colleges are learning skills by making projects. Revealing that they have acquired the world's fastest GPU provided by NVIDIA at their Centre for AI and ML, he said that they are giving real-time projects to students, through which they learn new technologies. It has become essential for educational institutions to invest in new technologies, he said, explaining the evolution of physical AI, agentic AI, and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). 'We are equipping ourselves with emerging technologies and replacing labs with Centres of Excellence ,' he added. Hinting that Gen Alpha and Gen Z generations prefer personalised learning and autonomy, Rajesh said that their college has adopted FlexiLearn , which is unique for India but not in developed countries. Under FlexiLearn , students can choose the subject, faculty, domain, and the schedule they want from the first semester onwards, he said, explaining that unlike a conventional college, here students can deep dive into technology subjects from the first semester onwards and learn fundamentals of engineering whenever it is required. This flexibility will enable students to learn future technologies and develop decision-making skills and time management skills, he added. He explained that FlexiLearn helps students build collaboration skills by having them sit with different peers in each class. As a result, their communication abilities are also improving. He added that the programme encourages interdisciplinary learning, which is a vital skill for thriving in the 21st century. 'At the college, we have a platform called GAME (Gamified Hybrid Adaptive Modular Education), and about 30% of subjects are offered in the game concept, where subjects are divided into smaller modules', he added.

White House promotes ‘Big Beautiful Bill' with lo-fi cartoon and social media can't look away
Source: White House There's never a dull day during Trump's presidency. The White House has launched a bizarrely calming video to promote former President Donald Trump's much-criticized 'Big Beautiful Bill' — and it's styled exactly like the kind of background music stream college students use to study for finals. Titled 'One Big Beautiful Lo-Fi MAGA Video to Relax / Study to,' the animated clip features a cartoon version of Trump flipping burgers, waving to imaginary customers, and raising a flag in front of the White House — all set to chill, dreamy lo-fi beats. Burgers, borders, and budget cuts — in lo-fi Source: White House On the right-hand side of the video, a stream of text gently scrolls by, laying out the supposed benefits of Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill.' It claims the bill will restore fiscal sanity, permanently secure America's borders, modernize air traffic control systems, and deliver on a host of other promises that echo Trump's long-standing campaign refrain of 'promises made, promises kept.' Though presented in the calming backdrop of lo-fi visuals, the message is unmistakably political—an attempt to repackage hardline policy points in a Gen Z-friendly wrapper. The video debuted on the official White House website. But for people who were surprised this isn't Trump's first go at something like this. A familiar playbook with a fryer twist Earlier in May, the Trump administration released a similar livestream across YouTube, Rumble, and X, showing another cartoon Trump hunched over paperwork at the Resolute Desk while lo-fi music played in the background. That stream also showcased policy wins, accompanied by the same soothing aesthetic. This latest entry references a 2024 campaign stunt in which Trump, clad in a McDonald's uniform, pretended to work a shift at a Pennsylvania location while greeting customers. That moment has now been immortalized in cartoon form, complete with a stylized McDonald's fryer and patriotic hand waves. Source: White House It also nods to Trump's latest 'gift' to the nation — the installation of two giant American flag poles outside the White House. In the cartoon, Trump raises a massive flag, mimicking the real-life footage of him overseeing the installation earlier this month, during which he pointedly asked workers if there were 'any illegal immigrants' among them. Social media reactions The interesting way to spread his propaganda has definitely caught people's attention- however whether they agree to this or not is something different. Let us look how people reacted to the cartoon: One user said, 'LMAO the official White House YouTube is seriously live streaming a 'Lo-Fi MAGA Video to Relax/Study to.' It's just anime Trump beside an ongoing list of his accomplishments. WHO IS THE INTERN ???' Another user wrote, 'Really trying to get that Gen Z support and I'm here for it.' A third user commented, 'Not just the best President, but the most FUN one we have had in a long, long time! Were there any other fun ones? Can you name them?'

Back-to-School apparel spend holds strong despite economic strain: Pwc
Despite mounting economic pressures, American families are maintaining—and in many cases increasing—their spending on back-to-school clothing and shoes, according to PwC's 2025 Back-to-School Survey. Nearly three in four shoppers say they expect to spend the same or more compared to last year, with more than one-third anticipating an increase in their education-related purchases. Clothing and footwear remain a key priority for parents. Sixteen per cent of back-to-school shoppers plan to spend over $500 on these items, while 29 per cent expect to spend between $251–500, and 27 per cent between $101–250. Only 17 per cent expect to spend less than $50, showing that most families are prepared to invest in new apparel for the school year, Pwc said in its report. Despite economic pressures, American families are prioritising spending on back-to-school clothing and shoes, with many planning to spend the same or more than in 2024, according to PwC. While some are cutting back, essentials remain protected. Gen Z favours physical stores, and income influences shopping channels. Retailers managing supply and value well are set to benefit. Yet not all shoppers are spending freely. Among those cutting back, clothing is one of the top categories being reduced, with 40 per cent choosing to limit apparel purchases. Still, essential buying in this category appears relatively shielded compared to discretionary goods. As parents look to save, many are prioritising early shopping and discounts, with value-conscious habits such as reusing items also gaining traction. Income level plays a key role in shopping behaviour—households earning below $75,000 annually are more likely to shop in-store, while higher-income families show a greater preference for online shopping. Notably, Gen Z parents are showing a strong preference for brick-and-mortar experiences, defying assumptions about their digital-first nature. This renewed interest in physical retail could shape merchandising and in-store promotions as retailers target this influential demographic, the report noted. While tariffs and shipping disruptions from China have created inventory concerns, many retailers are expected to recover in time for peak season. Those who manage supply chains efficiently and communicate value effectively stand to gain in a market where consumers continue to invest in clothing and shoes, despite broader inflationary concerns, added the report.
