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.
