“The emergence of AI is the next industrial revolution,” stated Gloria Caulfield, a prominent real estate executive, during a recent speech to graduates from the arts, humanities, and communications programs at the University of Central Florida. His comment initially met with a chorus of boos from the audience, prompting Caulfield to inquire about the reaction from the event organizers. He turned back to the students, seeking understanding: “I have struck a chord, can I finish?” he asked. As he continued, he noted, “A few years ago, AI was not a factor in our lives,” which led to applause from the audience, visibly relieving Caulfield. The moment quickly gained attention online, with the video of his surprising experience going viral.
