研究：AI 时代计算领域学生与专家眼中的认知技能变迁
Cognitive Skills in the Age of AI: Computing Students and Experts Perceptions
问了一圈计算机学生和从业者哪些能力在 AI 时代还保值，结论是大部分会贬值、批判性思维除外，搞技术教育的可以看看。
一项发表于 arXiv 的混合方法研究调查了计算专业学生和从业者，比较各项认知技能在过去、现在和未来三个时间维度上的重要性认知。结果显示，在 AI 深度融入工作流的环境下，多数认知技能的感知重要性将下降，但批判性思维被认为仍然关键。研究还通过访谈收集了技能重要性变化的原因，并给出未来计算专业学生的准备建议。
Cognitive Skills in the Age of AI: Computing Students and Experts Perceptions
AI is becoming increasingly integrated into daily workflows, especially in computing. We are gradually shifting towards an AI-rich future, an impending yet unknown one. One important emerging concern is whether we are accordingly preparing our future computing workforce. Further, we need to know what the important cognitive skills are to remain relevant in the computing workforce and if there are changes in cognitive skill importance. To investigate this direction, we conducted a mixed-methods study, collecting perceptions from computing students and computing experts regarding the importance of cognitive skills in the past, present, and future. We report that the perceived importance of most cognitive skills will decrease in the future, with an AI-rich environment, but critical thinking skills remain important. Further, we report reasons collected through interviews on why the importance of cognitive skills will change and how future computing students can prepare for it.
