KEY TAKEAWAYS

AI can create content that is designed to specifically appeal to and engage with each person.
A lot of what we do is gathering data from one place, reworking it and sharing it for application. AI is very good at this e.g. Notebook LM podcast feature.
Most people have still not explored how AI can help them to do their L&D job.
You can use voice and your camera to interface with AI.
Tell AI to take on personas to explore, test and get feedback for your ideas.
There are ways around any issues related to putting your business data into AI.
AI enables you to get down to the micro level and create content to close very specific skills gaps.
Be curious and start small.
