Commentary discusses AI integration in psychology education and its implications for employability and unique advantages.
Robinson et al. propose to integrate American Psychological Association's resources with artificial intelligence (AI) proficiency to enhance the psychology major's employability. The present commentary raises concerns about whether integrating AI proficiency will truly give psychology majors an edge, warning about a rat race with other disciplines to incorporate AI education. As an alternative, it is proposed that the unique selling point of psychological science results from its in-depth understanding of human behavior that will be pivotal to leveraging the potential of AI, while mitigating its risks. This advantage needs to be emphasized in the training of psychology majors as well as in public debates.
