Garber drew parallels between the historical backlash to the hot air balloon in the early 20th century and current debates about AI during Harvard&#8217;s Baccalaureate ceremony.<br \/>\n&#8211; The hot air balloon was seen as a &#8220;mania for simplification&#8221; that would make arduous endeavors like mountaineering unnecessary, mirroring today&#8217;s concerns about AI.<br \/>\n&#8211; Garber argued that while AI, like the hot air balloon, can make life easier and allow us to explore new frontiers, it doesn&#8217;t eliminate the value of strenuous human effort and discovery.<br \/>\n&#8211; Garber emphasized that progress brings both opportunities and challenges, and humans must consciously choose where to exert their effort.<br \/>\n&#8211; The speech took place amid the ongoing Harvard Graduate Student Union strike, but also highlighted the importance of traditional academic and religious elements during Commencement week.<br \/>\n&#8211; Religious readings and blessings from diverse traditions underscored the inclusive celebration of the graduating class&#8217;s diverse origins.<br \/>\n&#8211; The Commencement Choir performed a mix of traditional hymns and pieces composed by graduating students.<br \/>\n&#8211; The ceremony culminated with a group photo of the senior class, symbolizing a collective milestone in their academic journey.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Effort Still Matters\u2019 in AI Age, Garber Tells Harvard Graduates https:\/\/www.harvardmagazine.com\/commencement\/baccalaureate-harvard-garber Publish Date: 2026-05-26 17:53:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":220602,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.harvardmagazine.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/16_9_1920x1080\/public\/2026-05\/hm_bacc_2026_garber_ny.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-220601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220601"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220601"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220601\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":220603,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220601\/revisions\/220603"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/220602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
