509 — What are L&D teams really doing with AI?

from The Mindtools L&D Podcast · host Mindtools Kineo

Every L&D team thinks everyone else has AI figured out. Almost nobody does. Ross G recently ran structured interviews with 12 Mindtools Kineo customers, spanning tech, financial services, pharmaceuticals, energy, media and more, to find out what's really happening on the ground. In this week's episode, Ross D and Cammy Bean join Ross G to discuss his findings. We cover: Why every L&D team believes it is falling behind Where teams are continuing to invest at a time when budgets are constrained Why AI ambition keeps stalling at the governance stage During the episode, Cammy referenced a LinkedIn post titled 'L&D Overboard' by Srishti Sehgal. In 'What I Learned This Week', Cammy shared the history of Nix's Mate, a shrinking island in Boston Harbor where convicted pirates were hanged and left on display as a warning to passing sailors. Ross G recommended The Rest Is History's interview with Paul McCartney. And Ross D recommended The West Wing Weekly's 'Political Film Fest' review of All the President's Men.
