This highlight video is from the May 16th 2024 Skills-First Milwaukee Talent Development Conference @ GE HealthCare, session Research | Generative AI WILL DISRUPT Talent Development.

Session Focus: The research, framework, and use cases align well with the theme of sustainable change readiness and the focus on skills.

This keynote provided a timely and insightful look into the rapidly evolving world of AI and its impact on talent development. Aligning with the conference's focus on sustainable change readiness and skills, the speakers presented compelling research highlighting the widespread adoption of AI tools, with 90% of organizations utilizing them.

However, a striking gap was revealed – over 60% lack a comprehensive AI strategy. To address this, a pragmatic three-pillar framework was introduced: a manifesto for vision, a playbook for sourcing solutions, and advocates for cross-functional communication.

Notably, Mike Vaughan and Markus Bernhardt showcased their integrated AI system capable of generating instructionally-designed content, saving instructional designers a remarkable 70-90% of their time. Emerging trends discussed included conversational AI assistants, experiential simulations, and personalized adaptive learning driven by generative AI.

As the talent development landscape is disrupted, the keynote underscored the urgency of robust AI policies, understanding AI's capabilities and limitations, and continuous adaptation to this rapidly evolving space.
