Ep. 10 – Why does L&D create the wrong solutions? – Donald Clark
Donald Clark is one of the most well-known experts on bringing AI into Learning and Instruction. He's the former CEO of Epic Group plc, and current CEO of AI learning company WildFire.
In this episode, we spoke all about why L&D can't seem to nail the right problems for the business and their failed approach to making learning happen.
And of course...how we could fix it.

🖐🏽 Key Takeaways:
1. Learning is a process and L&D needs to remember learning science if it wants to drive new behavior and results. Training as an event is dead.
2. AI avatars provide a face and a voice for the content that gets generated. We'll need something to interact with.
3. People are missing the point of ChatGPT in being a program for learning through dialogue.
4. The Future of AI in Learning and Development is performance support...not more content.
