Key Takeaways
- AI is a tool, not a replacement: Josh highlights how AI, specifically large language models like GPT, can augment traditional processes within L&D. Its powers are not in replacing humans, but as an aid to boost productivity and creativity.
- L&D professionals need to have a baseline knowledge of AI: It's important for L&D practitioners to have an understanding of how large language models and AI tools work. This will be essential as these tools become increasingly integrated into L&D processes.
- Where to begin with learning to use AI tools: be prepared for the learning curve associated with using AI tools effectively. Josh suggested starting with an AI like GPT and learning how to prompt it effectively. Using prepared prompts (like his ‘150 prompts for L&D’) can be a helpful starting point.
