Russell Edwards’ Post

I have had some interesting conversations over the last few weeks, around AI in Education and Training, I have seen AI used to make videos around specific subjects, I have seen it write course material based on what it knows/can find out and I have been left speechless but I have also wondered how can we adapt what we do as an Awarding Body? We award and certificate in specialist sectors and occupational roles, meaning a lot of what we do is competency based, but it got me to thinking we would still need to make sure we are verifying written work is that of candidates and not AI generated. We still need to gear up for AI in whatever capacity and agree our stance to better help our centres with this ever changing world. Another question I have been considering (and I know its still learning) but can AI really be used to completely develop courses, making engaging and interactive materials and exam question banks? I get there is a need for human interaction during this process for sense and source checking etc but is this morally right? Can we put, for example, an existing standard into AI and get it re-write it for us without our moral compass kicking in and feeling a pang of guilt?

Artificial intelligence dominated headlines in 2023, with the world really coming to terms with the power that this technology holds. 2024 is set to be a pivotal year for the industry.

In a new world dominated by AI... Innovation and Human Talent will be the most powerful tools.

In an WIRED article from earlier this year, Ryan Roslansky described the impacts that AI will have on the future workforce. It's a really interesting read! “We will increasingly see employers become educators, “training to hire” into ever-changing jobs through onboardings, apprenticeships, and academies, as well as “training to promote” into ever-changing roles through upskilling and tours of duty that take employees into new functions and perhaps even new careers. This will be for hard skills related to AI, but perhaps more importantly, for people skills, too: Our data shows 92 percent of US executives believe people skills are more important than ever.” #wired #upskilling #training #AI #digitalworkplace

As a new era of artificial intelligence tools dawns, more employers seek the benefits of learning programs to ensure their workforces can meet the coming challenges. But with options for L&D broadening, what does a solid investment look like in practice? (Kathryn Moody) #humanresources #hr #learninganddevelopment #training #artificialintelligence #ai #skills

Make no mistake, #jobs of tomorrow are mostly unknown, and the impact on the workforce of that is going to be very high! #AI driven business transformation is only upending this landscape faster The need of the hour is to #upskill young adults beyond what they learn in school and college, turning them into problem solvers of tomorrow, not just consumers. AI can play a crucial role in addressing this #skill gap https://lnkd.in/gh6aaMGC

important message from the IMF (IWF): "Education and training policies must adapt to new realities, help prepare workers for the jobs of the future, and be better placed to offer lifelong learning. Sector-based training, apprenticeship, and upskilling and re-skilling programs could play a greater role in helping workers transition to new tasks and sectors." https://lnkd.in/gCzgm4Ec
