Why we need to heed boos over AI in commencement speeches - University World News

College students are booing AI mentions at graduation ceremonies now.

That's not a tech story. That's a warning for every business owner watching their industry get flooded with AI hype.

You're not alone in feeling burned. If you bought a tool your team never opened, or hired someone who delivered a deck and disappeared — that's the norm right now, not the exception. The people selling AI rarely have to live with the consequences of your decision.

Here's what those booing students understand that most vendors won't admit: being first doesn't mean being right. Governments are racing to "lead" in AI. Universities are scrambling to restructure. And in the middle of all that noise, you're supposed to pick the right tool for your specific business. No wonder it feels impossible.

The smarter move isn't to chase the trend. It's to find one broken, repetitive process in your business — something your team does manually every single week — and ask one question: "Could a tool handle this?" That's your starting point. Not a platform. Not a strategy. One process.

Small proof beats big promises every time.

What's one AI tool you bought that your team never actually used — and what went wrong?
