Here are some key points from Conan O’Brien’s graduation speech at Harvard University:<\/p>\n

* Conan O’Brien suggested that artificial intelligence (AI) is not a problem at Harvard, citing the institution\u2019s ability to detect AI use in student work.
\n* He made humorous remarks about AI not being able to replace graduates, even cracking jokes about it replacing those from Princeton.
\n* The speech took aim at the competitive job market for recent graduates by promising short remarks to give MIT\u2019s graduates a start in the job hunt.
\n* O’Brien addressed political issues, including the lawsuit against Harvard, the administration’s immigration crackdown, and the contributions of international students to American culture.
\n* He joked about the new cap on A’s at Harvard, in a light-hearted attempt to comply with the new policy by technically grading the graduating class with a C-minus.
\n* Drawing from his time at Harvard, O’Brien highlighted the significance of his involvement with the Harvard Lampoon, a humor society influential in producing successful comedians.
\n* Emphasizing community and humility, O’Brien conveyed his philosophy on overcoming narcissism and the role of external factors in personal success.
\n* As a closing thought, he encouraged graduates to let Harvard’s importance diminish as they grow and succeed in their own unique paths.
