This week, we're lighting the candles for a very special episode as we celebrate ChatGPT's first birthday. On November 30th, 2022, the world of learning and development (and the world as a whole) was forever changed with the release of ChatGPT. In just one year, it has not only captured our imaginations but also fundamentally shifted how we approach learning, development, and business strategy. In this episode, we’ll review ChatGPT's impressive milestones over the past year, explore its transformative impact on L&D, and discuss what the future holds for AI in learning and development.

Knowledge sharing is one of the biggest challenges organizations face.

From learners exploring a topic to integrating skills on the job, there are many opportunities to fuse AI with the learning journey. When we look at potential AI touch points along the learning journey as a whole, it can help us see the bigger picture and better support our learners at key moments. It’s a transformative shift that can redefine how we approach L&I with AI. In this episode of the AI Learner Lounge, we'll explore AI touchpoints in the learning journey.

Are we falling into AI’s shadow? As AI's capabilities expand, there's a looming risk that the intrinsic value of human ingenuity in L&D is being quietly overshadowed. As humans, we are often influenced by our cognitive biases—biases that, as irrational as it is, can lead us to question the worth of human-led efforts once AI enters the equation.  It's an unsettling phenomenon: The more we integrate tools like ChatGPT into our workflows, the greater the chance that our own contributions (and our end products) are seen as less valuable, even when the AI is merely a tool that we wield. In this episode of the AI Learner Lounge, we'll explore the implications for you as a L&D professional whose expertise might be overshadowed by the AI you use. We'll also explore how this might influence our learners’ perception of our content and the broader view of L&D in the organization. And most importantly, what you can do about it.

In this special episode of the AI Learner Lounge, we welcome a distinguished guest, Lauren Wallett, to discuss what the marketing industry (one of the top adopters of AI) is doing with AI, and how it applies to learning and development.  About Lauren Lauren has more than 18 years of content marketing expertise and worked with some of the biggest brands in the world.

This Halloween, we're getting into the ghoulish side of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and uncovering its risks to Learning & Development (L&D). Just like the ghosts, skeletons, vampires, bats, mummies, werewolves, and witches that roam around on Halloween night, AI has its own set of horrors that can haunt us year-round. But fear not! In this spooktacular episode, you’ll examine AI horrors, from biases and data risks to the loss of human interaction and ethical concerns, and discover strategic actions to ward off these AI demons and ensure a safe and inclusive learning environment. Tune in, if you dare, to learn how to banish the AI ghouls and make your L&D program a haven of innovation and creativity.

Is AI like ChatGPT creative? It's passed multiple creativity tests and can generate images, brainstorm learning activities, and more. By all accounts, AI is creative, but not in the same way as we are. Personal experiences, emotions, inspiration, and intuition often inspire our ideas as humans. We draw on our hopes, fears, aspirations, and anticipation of the future. In this episode, discover how your unique capabilities can fuse with AI to create something extraordinary.

AI (especially ChatGPT) is the ultimate skill sandbox. Discover two methods to leverage AI to develop professional (soft) skills and listen to two example conversations in this episode of the AI Learner Lounge. It's no secret that AI can revolutionize Learning and Development. We often hear about how ChatGPT can be used to create course outlines, scripts, and more. But we can also think bigger and create more unique, interactive learning experiences using AI learning simulations. AI means we scale (and improve) training for: Having difficult, important conversations Strengthening workplace relationships Gaining buy in & influencing others And much more

With only 26% of companies having AI policies, we need to take ownership of our professional development and personal AI literacy. This episode is all about you - not your organization or your L&D team, but you as a professional.  If your organization is lagging, it doesn’t mean you have to. Discover what you can do to future-proof your learning and development career and build your AI capabilities.

AI brings changes to the workplace. With that, how we approach learning and development and what our learners need shifts too. This episode explores how our L&D and ID models need to adapt because of AI.  This includes looking at: A recent adaptation Oregon State University made to Bloom’s Taxonomy How it applies to workplace learning & why we need a performance-oriented approach New opportunities (and needs) coming with recently announced updates from Open AI 💡Find Oregon State’s adaptation here: https://ecampus.oregonstate.edu/faculty/artificial-intelligence-tools/meaningful-learning/ 

Our prompt is ChatGPT's job aid. As learning and development professionals, instructional designers, and trainers, we must think of ChatGPT and generative AI as our learner. Just like our human learners, we need to understand its current knowledge and identify gaps to build in the knowledge it needs.

Are you a centaur or a cyborg? In this episode, we'll look at two distinct techniques for collaborating with AI (specifically ChatGPT) for Learning and Development based on insights from a new working paper released by Harvard, Warwick, and BCG. Discover what they found from experiments with high-skilled consultants on workplace tasks and my three key takeaways for learning and development professionals, instructional designers, and trainers. The findings might surprise you.

Traditional expertise + AI. It’s a powerful combination. AI is exciting and innovative but needs our direction and evidence-based foundations. It needs us to be AI Fusionists that can seamlessly blend AI with L&D. In this episode of the AI Learner Lounge, we’ll explore what it means to be an AI Fusionist and look at the four crucial elements that define an AI Fusionist: Holistic integration Transcending boundaries Evolving foundations Respecting expertise

What happens when we don’t have L&D fundamentals in place when we integrate AI in the workplace? The short answer - our learners suffer. Introducing ChatGPT and other AI in the workplace can provide on-demand performance support when it’s needed most and support self-directed learning. But if we’re not careful, AI could make a bad process worse. The last thing we want to do is spend time, money, and resources providing AI-driven learning solutions when that’s not the real problem. In this episode of the AI Learner Lounge podcast, we’ll explore three tiers of AI learning (self-directed, architected, and strategic integration).  - - - Resources from the Podcast: 🔗 Selena + Chef: Roy Choi’s Korean BBQ Short Rib Breakfast Taco Recipe: https://www.hbomax.com/static/selena-chef/Breakfast_Tacos.pdf   (very relevant in this episode)  🔗 Spark Toro study on ChatGPT prompt use: https://sparktoro.com/blog/we-analyzed-millions-of-chatgpt-user-sessions-visits-are-down-29-since-may-programming-assistance-is-30-of-use/   Learn more about your ad choices.

What does it mean to have a future-ready workforce? How will AI change job roles and skill needs? AI has the potential to transform many workflows, including those previously believed to be “safe” from automation. This integration can often lead to hybrid roles, which combine human expertise with AI capabilities. These hybrid roles will require workers to have both technical and non-technical skills to effectively collaborate with AI systems.  In this episode, we'll explore which skills are most and least impacted by AI and how we can address AI literacy in the workplace.
