KEY TAKEAWAYS

• AI can create content that is designed to specifically appeal to and engage with each person.
• A lot of what we do is gathering data from one place, reworking it and sharing it for application. AI is very good at this e.g. Notebook LM podcast feature.
• Most people have still not explored how AI can help them to do their L&D job.
• You can use voice and your camera to interface with AI.
• Tell AI to take on personas to explore, test and get feedback for your ideas.
• There are ways around any issues related to putting your business data into AI.
• AI enables you to get down to the micro level and create content to close very specific skills gaps.
• Be curious and start small.
