Linked – 15 Times to use AI, and 5 Not to
I’ve seen many people in the L&D space talk about using AI for training, and I think there is a place for it. There is also a place for deep learning that isn’t assisted by an AI tool. For instance, I don’t use AI to write for me. As someone who puts out as much written content as I do, you may find that surprising, but I tried it and quickly realized it wasn’t for me. Why? Because the writing process is part of my learning process. Taking information I see or read and trying to share in a way that makes sense to the reader is an integral part of understanding it better. You could argue that this blog is mainly for me, not the readers because as I try to understand legal technology, I must write about it. I need to turn around and explain it.

Sometimes it’s not a lack of training
Think of it this way: As a technology trainer, I can teach you everything there is to know about a specific technology, but it won’t solve anything if it’s not the proper technology for the job that needs to be done or if the job isn’t well-defined. That’s a different problem.
Have you been asked to provide training when the problem wasn’t a lack of employee knowledge before?

Do You Know What Will Prevent Your Best Performers From Hopping?
As I mentioned, I’ve left some jobs for reasons that had nothing to do with more money. Whether it was relocation, a desire to travel, a need to travel less, or the desire to work remotely, the one thing those changes had in common was that they were specific to my situation and preferences.
The other thing they had in common was that the place I was leaving did not have the flexibility to offer me what I wanted. Could the role have centered on doing more online training so I could travel less? Could a little remote work availability have kept me there longer? Could a fully remote position have allowed me to continue working and relocate?
We’ll never know because that wasn’t offered. Thus, I’ve switched jobs a few times.
