On The Business Times' Thrive, Associate Professor Sharon Tan, contributed insights to an article examining whether a tech degree remains valuable in an AI-driven economy. She highlighted that strong computing fundamentals remain essential, even – and especially – in an age of AI. While AI can automate routine tasks, it cannot replace the human judgement, creativity, and critical thinking needed to design reliable, responsible, and impactful systems. Graduates who pair deep technical grounding with the ability to work confidently and thoughtfully with AI will continue to stand out in a fast-evolving industry.
