Having a working understanding of what an AI is what it can and can not do, how to identify etc will likely be critical going further. Just because AI hype is a balloon does not mean goverments, coorporations will stop using AI for surveillance, propaganda etc once it pops. So better get acquainted with it.

But if there is such a list of requirements they should also add critical thinking to it.

• Understand and use the latest AI tools effectively in their chosen field(s), including identifying the key capabilities, strengths and limits of AI technologies, as well as ways that AI can transform existing methods, processes and tools
• Recognize and communicate clearly about AI use, decisions and limitations, including developing and defending decisions informed by AI-driven insights, as well as recognizing the presence, influence and consequences of AI in decision-making
• Adapt to and work with future AI developments effectively and continually

I'm not sure about every graduate needing this, but at the same time these seem like reasonable goals. Wouldn't you want the next generation to understand the weaknesses of ai? The pitfalls of trusting it? Recognizing how to use it smartly?

No doubt these kids are already using it. Why not train them in its pros and cons?

The kneejerk reaction that this is bad seems shortsighted to me. Every person, ai supporter or hater, should understand how AI works and how it doesn't work.
