Since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, AI has seldom been out of the news. Such is the pace of change, it can feel difficult to keep up. But how is L&D actually using this technology? What do learning professionals perceive as the benefits of AI, and what are the barriers to implementation?
In this week's episode of The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Ross Dickie and Owen Ferguson are joined by Donald Taylor to discuss a report he co-authored with Egle Vinauskaite, which seeks to answer some of these questions.
We discuss:
· The current state of play of AI in L&D,
· The expected benefits of using AI in L&D,
· The technological and business barriers to deploying AI in organizations.

In 'What I Learned this Week', Owen mentioned CGP Grey's focus on 'themes' (as opposed to resolutions) as a method for achieving long-term personal and professional goals. Check out this video to find out more.
Ross D recommended the Netflix documentary 14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible, exploring Nimsdai Purja's attempt to summit all fourteen of the world's 8000-metre mountains in under seven months.
