Voices of the Learning Network – Details, episodes & analysis

In the dawn of an AI driven world, keeping up with change is more important than ever. "Voices of the Learning Network" is diving into a topic that’s on everyone’s mind: how to get ready for the future, especially with AI changing the game. 

Join Kim Ellis as she talks to Erica Farmer from Quantum Rise for a lively discussion on how to turn the challenges of today into the opportunities of tomorrow. 

• How we can use ChatGPT (other LMMs are available!) as a thought partner, and how to use it to learn in the flow of work
• Why the biggest barrier to success is not technical, but more our attitude towards this change
• Why L&D needs to move from being deployers of content to facilitators of collaboration, and what being a guardian of quality means
• Why we need to feel the fear (of AI & the future) and do it anyway! 

We’re not just talking about surviving in the age of AI, we’re talking about thriving!
