"You shouldn’t be afraid of AI taking your job, but you should be afraid of someone who knows how to use AI taking your job." - Mike Kester
The first session focuses specifically on the basics of AI tools for L&D leaders and people managers.
Leo’s presentation “The Chronicles of Yarnia” fantastically demonstrates video generation tools. Using AI image generators MidJourney and Picsart coupled with video synthesis tools like Adobe Premier, Leo constructs a creative children’s storybook-style animated short. He acknowledges current limitations—keeping characters visually consistent frame-to-frame remains challenging. But the pace of progress promises more seamless, customizable video creation capabilities on the horizon. AI unlocks an efficient avenue for generating simulated scenarios, microlearning content, and other engaging learning formats.
This session provided a deep dive into the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence in shaping the future of Learning & Development within organizations. A standout moment was when Wendy encapsulated the essence of our discussions with the statement:
"Helping learning leaders grow by creating a future-ready workforce." - Wendy Greeson
This remark not only highlights the central goal of our L&D efforts but also underscores the broader strategic impact these technologies are poised to have on our organizations.Key Takeaways from the Session:
- AI as a Strategic Enhancer: The integration of AI into L&D processes goes beyond mere automation; it serves as a strategic enhancer.
