Educational systems must pivot from teaching skill acquisition and execution to teaching orchestration of agentic swarms and discovery of purpose — value accrues to individuals who master AI orchestration over traditional knowledge work; rendering traditional skill-acquisition curricula obsolete. | First top-20 university launching AI-orchestration major

Key catalyst: First top-20 university launching AI-orchestration major

Watch events: Agent-orchestration curriculum adoption at major universities

Agent-orchestration courses emerging at Stanford/MIT/YC 2025-2026; prompt-engineering and agent-design bootcamps scaling.

No probability history yet. The first evidence will arrive via /api/intake or the daily milestone sweep / weekly LBP run.
