How AI Impacts Learning and Development Departments with Mark Oehlert

#IDIODC Instructional Designers In Offices Drinking Coffee

Artificial Intelligence is the hot topic for 2023. Useful applications seem to be popping up daily, and existing platforms, like Canva and Microsoft, are creating new "magic" features within their existing apps. Do these news apps and new feature sets make our jobs easier? Some might argue they will someday make our jobs obsolete. The only thing we know for certain is that AI is here to stay, and getting better every day, whether we like it or not.

Like all new shiny tech objects that we chase in our industry there will be pros and cons. If your personality leans towards a "glass is half empty" world view AI might be concerning to you. If your excited about AI with a "glass half full" perspective then you've likely already played with these tools and thought of all the creative things you can do to improve your productivity in designing learning content.

Mark Oehlert is one of the "glass half full" guys. And I swear he can see the future for real. He's joining us to talk about how Artificial Intelligence programs like OpenAI, ChatGPT, and others, might change our L&D departments and work we do in them. We'll discuss details in future episodes of IDIODC, but for now let's get a baseline understanding of the enterprise ecosystem and how AI changes and/or modifies the current structures and skills required for L&D to continue supporting the business and impacting revenue growth.
