482 — Are organizations getting AI upskilling wrong?

from The Mindtools L&D Podcast · host Mindtools

To help organizations reap the benefits of AI while meeting regulatory requirements, many L&D teams are rolling out AI skills programs. But how do we design these programs in a way that shapes consistent, compliant behaviors, while helping colleagues develop the judgment they need to navigate messy, real-world situations? In this week's episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Ross D and Cammy are joined by Alyn Kinney, Senior Learning and Development Manager at T-Mobile, to discuss: how organizations are supporting AI skills development; the potential drawbacks of a top-down, skills-based approach; how to deliver practical, problem-based AI skills programs at scale.  If you enjoyed this conversation, be sure to check out Alyn's newsletter, Nerd Out. In 'What I Learned This Week', Ross D recommended C. Thi Nguyen's book The Score. For more from Mindtools Kineo, visit mindtools.com.
