Steve Wozniak cheered after telling students they have AI – actual intelligence

Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak delivered a commencement speech at Grand Valley State University where he reassured graduates entering an AI-driven job market by telling them they possess "actual intelligence," earning applause from the audience. Wozniak explained that AI represents humanity's attempt to duplicate routines at scale to replicate brain function, and advised graduates to think differently rather than follow conventional paths. Unlike Wozniak, other tech leaders like former Google CEO Eric Schmidt faced booing at recent graduation ceremonies when discussing AI.
