Stella Collins’ Talk
What Happens When You Blend AI and Neuroscience?
As a learning professional, you won’t have missed the story of how AI is changing how we work. What are you already doing differently? With AI you can do many jobs faster - but often it’s only used to design more learning content faster.
What about quality and impact? GIGO is a well-known term in the technology sector – Garbage In, Garbage Out. If we aren’t doing the right things in the first place, then AI will make us more efficient at being ineffective.
We still have a huge challenge in the learning world because up to 80% of training isn’t transferred into the workplace – wasting time, money, productivity and goodwill.
First of all, we need to define what learning really means and how we can boost transfer. Neuroscience is at the foundation of an evidence-based framework to create learning journeys that ensure people adopt new behaviors and skills in the workplace. But doesn’t that require more work from L&D, the learners and the organization? You’re right - and until now it’s been hard to do at scale.
AI comes to the rescue because we can create activities and learning journeys that do transfer skills into the workplace, we can personalize learning to make it more relevant and upscale the whole process faster; leaving more time to do the things that deliver impact.
Ensure your foundations are sound and then use AI to do it faster.
