Hey everyone, Christopher here with another Learning Tech Talks. This week was an insightful conversation with the remarkable Helen Marshall, Chief Learning Officer at THRIVE. While we started on our shared experiences in building community, we dove deep into the crux of AI's potential in the L&D landscape and how it intertwines with the undeniable human need for connection. After all, the future of AI isn't just about the code; it's about how we harness its power to unlock our inherent human capability. Together we discussed how AI can enhance our learning experiences without overshadowing the fundamental human elements. And yes, our chat surprisingly touched on the nuanced world of skills terminology and the unexpected charm of donuts.Throughout the discussion we explore the ethical boundaries of AI, its potential pitfalls, and the wonders of personalization. But amidst all the tech talk, one thing became clear: the need for human connection isn't going anywhere, and it's our responsibility in the L&D world to nurture it.
