Artificial intelligence is a hot topic right now—and for good reason. It is believed that artificial intelligence will be the most disruptive technology over the next ten years, transforming a wide range of industries in the process and opening up many new doors.
Today, we’ll take a look at some of the potential that artificial intelligence can unlock for the field of learning and development, which includes the use of machine learning and deep learning.
Personalization
One of the challenges in providing job-related training to individuals and employees is to offer them the learning and development opportunities that they want and need in a cost-efficient way.
Using artificial intelligence, search engines and chatbots can help learners to access the right information, and suggestion engines can provide them with timely and relevant content recommendations.
Going further, artificial intelligence can be used to analyze employees’ current skills, duties and job performance; predict future performance and skill gaps; and
specifically put together an up-to-date training program for each person. This can include adapting content to best suit different learning styles and preferred formats, and providing accessibility for learners with disabilities.
Personalization, with the help of artificial intelligence, can shorten the learning process by allowing learners to skip training for what they already know and focus solely on shoring up skill gaps in the ways that they learn best.
Course Creation and Virtual Trainers
Even a single job-related training course can take a lot of time and resources to develop and deliver, but artificial intelligence can be used to reduce the costs of those investments.
Using content creation algorithms or sourcing content in different ways, artificial intelligence can generate a seemingly limitless number of new courses on different topics for a variety of audiences.
Artificial intelligence can also be used as a learning aid, directly tutoring learners in areas that are currently difficult for them and providing specific feedback on their performance. This could also be done on demand; for example, allowing learners to order and receive immediate training to tackle a time-sensitive problem.
There are many areas where artificial intelligence applications hold exciting possibilities and the field of learning and development is no exception.
No matter where individuals and employees live and work, or what language they speak, artificial intelligence can be used to help generate, adapt and deliver different types of training for them in a cost-effective way.
