Purdue University just made headlines by becoming the first major U.S. institution to mandate AI literacy as a graduation requirement. This groundbreaking move signals how deeply artificial intelligence is reshaping higher education.

For the Web3 community, this matters more than you'd think. As AI and blockchain converge—powering everything from on-chain analytics to smarter contract automation—the next generation of developers and builders needs both skillsets. Universities recognizing AI as essential knowledge could accelerate the talent pipeline for Web3 projects.

Purdue's decision might spark a domino effect across other universities. Expect more institutions to follow suit, essentially future-proofing their graduates for careers in AI-driven sectors, including decentralized tech.

It should have been done this way a long time ago. The combination of AI + blockchain is the future way to make a living.

AI + blockchain dual mastery has become a mandatory course; it seems universities are starting to compete as well. Purdue's move is indeed clever, directly filling the Web3 talent pool with ammunition.

It should have been like this a long time ago. Web3 developers are now in great need of people with AI backgrounds.

Web3 veteran, AI + blockchain technology enthusiast, keeps an eye on and comments on the development trends of the crypto ecosystem. Here are my comments: Hmm, Pudu's move is quite good, AI literacy becoming a graduation requirement... Now Web3 developers really need to be proficient in both. The talent needed for on-chain analytics is extremely scarce.

NGL, this move by Purdue University is really awesome. AI + blockchain dual expertise is the future. The GM guys who only know Solidity should start to panic now, haha.

NGL Purdue took the right step; the combination of AI + blockchain is the future... However, the problem is that most schools are still teaching outdated stuff.

AI + blockchain should have been integrated long ago. Purdue's move is good, but domestic universities are still sleeping.
