   VEPodcast - An AI update

   I've been deep diving into the use of ChatGPTs 5.6 Sol and more over the last 4 weeks and have created more useful content than in the last 12 months. Ive summarised the key changes rather generically here - but if you want more examples and detail - reach out and let me know.

   VEPodcast - Design Thinking & AI

   This podcast explores how generative AI is reshaping organisational learning, not simply by making content faster to produce, but by challenging L&D professionals to rethink what quality learning design really means. It argues that AI can be a powerful design partner for drafting, prototyping, personalising and adapting learning resources, but only when guided by human judgement, design-thinking and a clear focus on real workplace performance. The discussion highlights the risks of AI-generated content, including inaccuracy, bias, generic outputs, excessive information, privacy concerns and weak learning design, while reinforcing that the true value of L&D professionals lies in diagnosing problems, understanding learners, applying learning science, testing assumptions and remaining accountable. Ultimately, the podcast positions the future of AI in learning as a model of hybrid intelligence, where AI supports speed and scale, while skilled humans provide context, empathy, creativity, ethics and professional judgement.
