Gen-AI

Last week, I attended a conference in Amsterdam. The conference? World of AI Summit (as in Artificial Intelligence). While, as with any conference, there were good sessions, especially the opening sessions in the morning, I was a bit surprised at how many of the speakers never addressed a couple of points, including the “what happens…

This isn’t going to be a pleasant post for some. I am going to get comments that are “How dare you,” “Who else can I ask,” “Just seeking input and what business is it of yours,” and other favorable, err, unfavorable statements. Some people are going to be irritated. There will be CEOs from some…

We deal with trends. Not a learning system nor tech alone. Not due to tech stacks either. I’m talking about day-to-day life. I had a trend occur just over a week ago. An accident, fall if you will, with the probability that I would hit my head, and score another concussion (which would have been…

Generative-AI which I have written about many times (and will in the future too, as it impacts our space), continues to be “hot.” The challenges include “quality,” “hallucinations,” “bias,” and “output.” There are a lot of products already out there for someone to choose from, and in this analysis I focused on the whole PDF…

I love AI and where it can go.   However, let’s not forget it is at the infant stage. Thus, relying on it as the savior for all your tasks to be handled formally by your employees could open the floodgates due to the current flaws in every LLM. The latest information, research, and benchmarks continue…

Way too many companies think that L&D will put together a plan, and then provide learning to their employees in a quick fashion. They ignore that it takes time. Planning. Strategy. Rollout, and the list goes on. With generative AI, companies are adding it without truly investigating its impact, not just now, but down the…

I love Halloween, but over the years, I realized there are two types of people in this world (who celebrate Halloween or similar) when it comes to the 31st. Either the lights are on, and candy is waiting for everyone, or the lights are turned off, and you’re hiding in the back bedroom, so nobody…

In the past month or so, I recognize and see more and more of AI and how it will become so intertwined with any type of learning system, that what you – the vendor and you – the L&D, Training, CLO, HR professionals, plus C-Suite will drastically change. The question is whether you (the latter…

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…

A few days ago, Brad Lightcap, in an interview with CNBC, stated, among other things, that “one of the most overhyped parts of artificial intelligence is that in one fell swoop, it can deliver substantive business change.” (The Verge OpenAI COO thinks AI for business is overhyped, Dec 4, 2023) He added that companies are…
