Abstract: This conceptual review examines the role of higher education in equipping graduates for careers in an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven economy. As AI transforms industries and redefines workforce needs, universities must adapt by integrating AI into curricula, fostering practical skills, and addressing ethical considerations. This paper highlights strategies such as interdisciplinary programs, industry partnerships, and online learning while addressing challenges like resource disparities, rapidly evolving technology, and ethical concerns. Special attention is given to promoting diversity and inclusion in AI-related fields, with a focus on U.S. higher education. By adopting proactive strategies, institutions can prepare graduates with the technical, ethical, and adaptable skills needed for an innovative and equitable AI-driven workforce. Limitations include a U.S.-centric perspective, with suggestions for future global comparative analysis.
