Listen Later

In the introduction to the latest Global Sentiment Survey report, Donald Taylor describes this year's results as 'the most significant' in the survey's history.

In this week's episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Don joins Ross D and Ross G to discuss:

  • whether interest in AI has peaked;
  • why Don believes the results reflect a breaking of old norms;
  • the steady climb of 'showing value' and the relative decline of 'learning analytics';
  • the key challenges L&D professionals are facing;
  • the things these professionals are doing now that they weren't doing a year ago.

You can download a copy of the Global Sentiment Survey report here.

In 'What I Learned This Week', Ross G drew an analogy between content in the pre-AI era and low-background steel.

Don recommended A Knight's Own Book of Chivalry by Geoffroi de Charny.

And Ross D referenced the article 'An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me' by Scott Shambaugh.
