<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap"><strong>Session Focus: Explore how integrating AI can revolutionize HR practices, transforming challenges into opportunities for strategic workforce development.</strong></p>
In an era marked by rapid technological advancements and significant demographic shifts, HR stands at the forefront of guiding organizations through transformative challenges. This session revisits critical themes from our previous discussion at the Skills-First Talent Development Conference, focusing on how HR can integrate artificial intelligence to enhance operations and manage an aging workforce alongside a looming skills shortage.
This session provided valuable insights into the role of AI in future-proofing L&amp;D and building AI-enabled workforce capabilities.
<blockquote>"We are human performance experts. AI mimics human behavior. Who better than us to lead this AI change?" -- <a href="https://www.ele.llc/members/josh-penzell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Josh Penzell</a></blockquote>
This powerful quote encapsulates the unique position L&amp;D professionals are in to guide the integration of AI in workforce development.

<strong>Three key takeaways from the session were:</strong>
<ol>
 	<li><strong>AI and Individual vs. Collective Creativity:</strong> AI can enhance individual creativity, particularly for those who might be less inherently creative. However, it can potentially suppress creativity at a group level. L&amp;D professionals need to manage this balance carefully, ensuring AI tools complement rather than supplant human creativity.</li>
 	<li><strong>Decision-Making in AI Implementation:</strong> Organizations face a critical decision on whether to build custom AI models or utilize existing ones. The example discussed highlighted Bloomberg’s significant investment in a proprietary model which was quickly outperformed by the more advanced GPT-4. This underscores the rapid pace of AI development and the importance of staying informed and adaptable in technology decisions.</li>
 	<li><strong>Reimagining L&amp;D Roles with AI:</strong> AI’s integration into L&amp;D isn’t just about using new tools—it's about rethinking roles. AI can serve various functions, from tutor and mentor to collaborator and even learner. This shift challenges L&amp;D professionals to redesign learning experiences that maintain the human element at their core while leveraging AI to provide personalized, adaptive, and more effective learning experiences.</li>
</ol>

These insights emphasize the transformative potential of AI in L&amp;D and the critical role that professionals play in shaping its implementation. As the field evolves, maintaining a focus on human-centered learning while embracing AI will be crucial for developing future-ready workforce capabilities.

Recent breakthroughs in AI have not only increased demand for AI products, they've also lowered the barriers to entry for those who want to build AI products. The model-as-a-service approach has transformed AI from an esoteric discipline into a powerful development tool that anyone can use. Everyone, including those with minimal or no prior AI experience, can now leverage AI models to build applications. In this book, author Chip Huyen discusses AI engineering: the process of building applications with readily available foundation models.

The book starts with an overview of AI engineering, explaining how it differs from traditional ML engineering and discussing the new AI stack. The more AI is used, the more opportunities there are for catastrophic failures, and therefore, the more important evaluation becomes. This book discusses different approaches to evaluating open-ended models, including the rapidly growing AI-as-a-judge approach.

AI application developers will discover how to navigate the AI landscape, including models, datasets, evaluation benchmarks, and the seemingly infinite number of use cases and application patterns. You'll learn a framework for developing an AI application, starting with simple techniques and progressing toward more sophisticated methods, and discover how to efficiently deploy these applications.
