The Real-world Impact of AI: Education, Ethics, and Adaptation in the 4th Industrial Revolution

L&D In Action: Winning Strategies from Learning Leaders

We very well may be living through a historic inflection point. The point at which artificial intelligence grows from an esoteric machination to a tool that revolutionizes how most of society does its work. But what industries and aspects of our day-to-day lives will AI impact most? And what should we watch for as that impact begins to be felt? This week, Thomas Bergen and Marc Zao-Sanders join the show to discuss AI’s impact on education, work, and our lives at large.

Thomas co-founded getAbstract a quarter of a century ago in 1998. He has since parlayed his experience working with L&D teams at Fortune 500s into widespread recognition as a learning and leadership expert. Marc is the founder of Filtered, a learning tech company dedicated to maximizing learning ROI through the use of enhanced data and content curation. Thomas and Marc share a deep interest in how we adapt and grow as individuals and organizations partnering with technology.
Join us as we discuss:

• The potential for students of the future to excel using AI tutors
• Research that shows how AI assistants improve the work of world-class strategists
• Where and when it’s important to remain skeptical of AI’s capabilities
• How AI’s proximity to our psyche makes applications prime real estate for advertisements of the future
• The risks of refusing to learn and adapt as new technologies are developed
• How to ensure ease-of-use with AI tools doesn’t make us complacent or passive learners and workers
