    1. Not only will the combination of technical and transferable skills help CTE students compete for the automation-resilient jobs of today (which tend to require bachelor’s degrees), the combination will give them greater agility when automation threats come knocking tomorrow.

      Perfect way to state how this combination will give them the benefit. I agree, with the following combination we may help build the confidence in the students who may struggle in one learning area to go explore that area with the use of technology or AI like ChatGPT.

    2. The importance of—and challenges to—carving out space in every CTE classroom in every CTE career cluster for the development of transferable, nontechnical skills becomes especially salient when you analyze automation risks across the different CTE career clusters.

      Although this statement is marginally true, I feel like their actually may be automation benefits that be accounted for through the development of research and in result can benefit every CTE classroom. Not all is risks and some future technology can be used to improve nontechnical skills.

    3. To begin, jobs requiring skills that are difficult to automate with available technologies are at lower risk of automation.

      This may be difficult to infer because technology is constantly evolving and I feel like its just a matter of time before even these jobs will have new tech develop to allow employees to complete there job more efficiently.

    4. behind ChatGPT can write nearly flawless computer code for a certain syntax-based statistical package commonly used among policy-researcher types, like myself.

      Even some experienced computer software developers, have been reported to say with the current version being out there are many flaws in the computer generated system, that don't fully capture the authentic nature that simply a human uses.

    5. To what degree can automation affect the career outcomes of graduates of CTE programs?

      This question purposes a great question that may inspire some research educators to look into. However, should be a question that as a Educator we should ask the students how they feel about automation.

    6. My recent ChatGPT experience has me wondering about this consensus opinion, however. Let me explain.

      I would be very interested to see what the authors personal experience was and what did he use it for? This can actually build and show a personal perspective for the reader, which can target possibly a different audience (students etc).

    7. Consequently, states, districts, schools, and teachers take different approaches to academic integration, and some approaches are more successful than others.

      As educators, the approaches to academic integration needs to be streamlined across North America. By doing so it gives a big statement or sets a large example of how the education is working together to maintain academia integrity.

    8. There’s also little accountability for academic integration baked into federal policy.

      This statement I feel needs to be actively address in all areas of today's society because based on what is being presented in the media there is very little response to music being copyrighted etc.

    9. In other words, exposure to automation risk can be correlated with student characteristics.

      I feel like this may be difficult statement to conclude as there are various student characteristics that may not favour automation at all. In fact without this technology there may be student characteristics that are not impacted at all or does not alter automation risk.

    10. The pieces are there; done right, academic integration, work-based learning, the Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment, and apprenticeship models can work to close the gap between the skills students have and the skills employers need, today and tomorrow.

      This is can be possibly a dangerous conclusion or insight to infer because I believe many employers may not even be fully informed of this technology and the change of skills their employees may develop. Thus, more time and education needs to be established in the work force.

    11. All this matters because existing research indicates CTE participation can be stratified by race, gender, income, and rurality.

      It is very interesting to call upon the following variables, because these variables are constantly reviewed as being impactful on type of research so this may prompt future research to be conducted to address the following stratified variables in education.

    12. The concern I have is that “academic integration” is mostly open to interpretation, and there’s not a lot of guidance for how to do it well across the16 different trades-based

      I agree, and I think this statement is impactful as it is true especially the promotion of the trades in the academic system is currently growing. So not a fully having a understanding of this tech especially with a growing curriculum can be concerning.

    13. These skills include things like two-way communication, critical thinking, creativity, planning, management, and problem-solving. These are transferable skills, not technical skills.

      This statement really caught my attention because one may argue that these skills may in fact could still be both transferable and technical especially how we cognitively think over time is constantly evolving.

    14. Is AI going to gut the kinds of jobs that CTE will prepare students for, or is CTE a key to preparing students for an AI-infused future?

      Although this question is often purposed when reviewing this topic, one may argue that CTE may in fact be the most aware to the answer of this question as we seen a lot of technological advancement in most trades.

    15. The introduction of ChatGPT last fall thrust artificial intelligence into the national consciousness, putting an exclamation mark on questions about how automation will affect the job prospects for today’s students.

      I believe this statement purposes significant weight. As many employers and educators are intensely asking, which can affect not only the job market but how we teach. Do we accept the technology and integrate it in our everyday learning or do we refuse to use it?
