Educators should know that this argument is being repeated in tech and political ciricles worldwide: "The failures of STEM education are particularly glaring in its cost inefficiencies. Running STEM programs requires expensive lab facilities, high-cost materials, and specialized faculty, which ultimately drive up tuition and student debt. Meanwhile, the rise of AI and automation in the workplace has rendered many traditional STEM skills obsolete before students even graduate... it is clear that STEM education, as it currently exists, is unsustainable. Its rigid, costly, and outdated model does not serve the needs of a world driven by AI, automation, and rapid technological change." Of course, this has often been said in the past (because it's a valid criticism). The question is, will we see a real alternative rise in the future? (Answer: probably.)
