The term "Artificial Intelligence" (AI) may evoke images of futuristic robots or complex algorithms, but the truth is that AI has been part of our lives for decades. From the voice assistants on our smartphones to the personalized recommendations on our streaming services, AI is quietly powering many of the tools and technologies we use daily.

This session will demystify AI for learning professionals, providing a clear understanding of its capabilities and practical applications. We'll delve into how AI is currently being used in the industry, explore innovative ways content creators can leverage AI tools, and discuss the crucial role of prompt engineering in achieving successful AI outcomes.

We'll also address potential watch-outs and risks associated with AI-generated content, ensuring you can navigate the ethical and practical considerations. Finally, we'll guide you on becoming an AI leader within your organization, positioning yourself at the forefront of this exciting technological revolution.

Let's embark on this journey to uncover the potential of AI in revolutionizing the learning experience and empowering talent development professionals to achieve new heights of success.
