This article, “AI Is Not The Future Of Learning & Development” published on Learning Guild, explores the current hype surrounding Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the learning and development sector, suggesting a more measured perspective. It argues that while AI offers potential benefits, it is not a panacea for all L&D challenges. The article emphasizes the importance of focusing on fundamental principles of instructional design and effective pedagogy, rather than solely relying on technological solutions.

It suggests that L&D professionals should critically evaluate AI’s applications, focusing on practical uses that genuinely enhance learning outcomes and efficiency. A balanced approach, integrating AI thoughtfully where it adds value while maintaining a strong foundation in established learning methodologies, is key. For our company, this means carefully assessing how AI tools align with our existing strategies and contribute to tangible improvements in our training programs, ensuring we prioritize effective learning experiences over simply adopting the latest technology.
