I got in an argument with someone recently where my point was ultimately: pushing STEM education is fantastic and useful, but we do society a disservice by not equally pushing humanities / social science, because STEM concepts applied without regard for social/societal cues is dangerous. I think that's what we're seeing right now with the AI boom.
Don't get me wrong, STEM is incredibly important. But advancing technology for the sake of advancing technology is a bad idea if we don't have the social wherewithal to handle the consequences.
I realize this may not have been your point; posting it anyway.
STEAM is better than STEM. The A is for Arts.
