The Practical Applications of AI in L&D

L&D professionals know that leveraging AI is essential to building the most effective learning programs in 2024 and beyond. But the extent of how and when to utilize AI may remain difficult to see for some practitioners who are just beginning their AI journeys. If you’re interested in the practical applications of AI in L&D, CLN research on learning leaders’ predictions for how AI will revolutionize learning can shed light on specific areas of use.

75% believe AI will transform L&D by generating training materials, including text, videos, and simulations.

The ability of Generative AI to create original content opens the door for relevant and personalized instructional design. With society constantly and quickly evolving around us, learning content must be constantly updated to account for new and emerging skills. Gen AI can allow L&D practitioners the capacity to continuously and rapidly generate new material. This near-instantaneous content creation also allows for highly specific and personalized learning journeys. With the right systems in place, learners can input exactly what knowledge or skills they want to gain and Gen AI will create a tailored course for them.

68% believe AI will create engaging and interactive learning experiences.

The personalized learning paths generated by AI will contribute to learner engagement by allowing learners to access the exact type of content they need at the right time. However, it also has the potential to introduce gamification elements into learning courses, build simulations, and power extended reality (XR) environments, increasing the interactivity of learning experiences.

57% believe AI will help by automating administrative tasks like scheduling, grading, and enrollment.

AI can automate scheduling, grading, and enrollment, opening up time for L&D practitioners to focus on the more meaningful, creative, overarching elements of designing and implementing learning programs. This example of human/AI collaboration demonstrates how AI can be leveraged to elevate, instead of replace, human intelligence.
