Demystifying AI for L&D

This presentation demystifies how AI actually fits into workplace learning and gives L&D professionals actionable tools to move from curiosity to action. It explains the building blocks of modern AI and common L&D use cases (personalization, authoring, chatbots, learning analytics, podcasts, “self-healing” content), shows real company impacts and cost-saving potential, and lays out a pragmatic AI strategy model you can apply immediately. 

We’ll review the Human–AI Task Scale to help decide which tasks remain human and which to automate, an AI Scorecard (transparency, privacy, bias, accuracy) to evaluate vendors, and an Ethical AI Action Plan with warning signs to watch for in deployments. 

Takeaways:

• Why AI matters in L&D and examples of measurable impact. 
• The Building Blocks of AI (vector embeddings, models, components) and how they power L&D features. 
• Human–AI Task Scale — a decision tool to map work from human-led to AI-led. 
• AI Scorecard & CARE principles (Consent, Accuracy, Respect, Equality) to vet tools and vendors. 
• Practical uses of AI in L&D and prioritized pilots 
• An “AI Game Plan” and suggested personal development goals (tools, pilot plan, next steps).

Attending this webinar will also help you transition immediately from learning AI to using AI effectively at Josh’s half-day DevLearn workshop this November - AI 101 for L&D Professionals.
