In this age of AI, it is even more important that people think for themselves.
This article entitled POV: Philosophy is the secret to thriving in the age of AI explains why in this day and age, philosophical thinking helps one become creative. Primarily because philosophy encourages value free thinking and challenge of exiting notions, these predisposes one to find new solutions.

It is hard to tell which is more important between AI and philosophy, but there is definitely a kind of symbiotic relation between them going forward.

For reference, at the Northeastern University, London, there is a course entitled MA Philosophy and Artificial Intelligence Programme which aims to address this gap early.
A look at the course outline would likely tell us what we need as noobs in these two areas. Are you ready for the new world?
