Financial Times Calls on Universities to Teach AI Evaluation Skills
On July 24, 2026, the Financial Times published an article calling for universities to integrate training in AI evaluation skills—what practitioners call "eval" competencies—into their curricula. According to the British economic newspaper, organizations deploying artificial intelligence models will need personnel capable of continuously testing those models against their actual business needs. The FT argues that this skill set is critical for ensuring AI systems remain fit for purpose within organizations.
