Greek history really isn't the prestige area of study it used to be. I wonder how much funding universities are going to be redirected away from liberal arts and the humanities to fund machine learning departments in the next few years? The money shuffle is pervasive.
My point was that universities, like other corporations, have fixed budgets and additional funding for machine learning resources has to come from somewhere. Talent isn't really the issue. Universities will be using those limited AI resources to develop new technologies they can patent, to attract researchers and students interested in using those resources. There is not currently a deluge of students that want to learn Greek history.

Liberal arts and humanities departments are a lot cheaper to fund than machine learning though. They aren't competing with Silicon Valley for talent.
