5 Questions U must Ask Every Vendor with Gen-AI
Vendors are a clever bunch of folks. Whether they are selling learning technology, content/courses, or even learning systems. I saw this firsthand at LTUK. Those who have Gen-AI in their system, platform content/courses, and technology are noted very visibly. Some who didn’t even have it pitched it at those vendor sessions on the floor. Lots…

My dinner with GPT-4 – The Q&A
If you have ever been unfortunate enough to watch my Dinner with Andre, you will recall it is two people across from one another talking. That’s it. Yes, I know, Academy Award material.
