\n

To be brutally honest, artificial intelligence (AI) gives my old-school journalism soul the heebie-jeebies as nightmarish visions of unattributed content, unoriginal thought, and unverified sources dance in my head. I know it probably will make my job easier\u2014or maybe redundant, if ChatGPT can write better articles than I can (I really hope not!).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I also know employees in most industries\u2014including learning and development (L&D)\u2014are having similar thoughts. Indeed, 25 percent of workers are very worried their job will be replaced by AI in the next year, according to a global study of 1,000-plus employees by technology analyst firm Valoir. There is no question AI will continue to change the way we work, train, and learn. But the good news for L&D professionals is that the human aspect is still vitally important\u2014after all, someone needs to train these AI tools, as well as oversee ethical and privacy concerns. As our TechLearn Conference keynoter Dr. Vivienne Ming noted in a call we had a few weeks ago, \u201cAI knows everything but understands nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A theoretical neuroscientist and founder of Socos Labs, Dr. Ming has done extensive research on the impact of AI in training and learning. Interestingly enough, she said, \u201cthe more information you give people, the less they explore. Studies have found that students learn decidedly more when they don\u2019t get as much information. So the key becomes figuring out how the AI tool can work collaboratively with the learner.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
