Not everything can be acquired by training. You are assuming an unrealistic utopia where every skill can be learned. Unfortunately most CS and EE students cannot be trained in AI/ML. Only the subset with strong and deep backgrounds in linear algebra, etc. can be. If everyone can be trained for everything, what is the point of specialization?

There is a kernel of inherent talent/ability behind many skills, but pretty much everything else besides that can be learned. So, assuming you're correct, you identify the "CS and EE" students that can be trained in AI/ML and you train them, rather than complaining about a "skills shortage" (usually meaning something like the US is not providing fully trained bodies at cheap prices with the cutting-edge, special-snowflake skillset the complainer desires). "Training" could mean paying for/subsidizing an advanced degree, which good employers have been known to do. > If everyone can be trained for everything, what is the point of specialization? I'm not saying something like everyone can learn any job with a 4-week training course. The point of specialization is that no one has the time to learn every skill, so people focus.
