College students drown out AI-praising commencement speeches with boos

College students at multiple U.S. universities booed commencement speakers, including former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who praised artificial intelligence during their graduation ceremonies. The students' hostile reaction reflected widespread concerns about AI's impact on the job market they are entering, with some speakers forced to pause their speeches amid the shouting. The backlash highlights a generational divide between tech industry leaders promoting AI adoption and young people worried about their employment futures.
