In this engaging episode, host Brandon Giella is joined by WeLearn regulars Sean Stowers and Loren Sanders, plus special guest Diane Gaa, a seasoned learning professional and innovative consultant. Together, they explore how generative AI is fundamentally changing how we process information, approach learning, and function in the workplace. From practical tool recommendations to philosophical discussions about the future of education, this conversation offers valuable insights for learning professionals looking to harness AI's potential.
Key Highlights:
• The evolution from reactive to proactive work as AI handles administrative tasks, allowing professionals to focus on being "orchestrators" rather than just "producers"
• How different GenAI tools (Gemini, Copilot, Claude, Perplexity) serve different purposes, with recommendations for specific use cases
• The productivity gains achieved through AI in learning development, particularly with translations, engagement activities, and overcoming "blank page fear"
• The integration of AI into learning workflows and delivery processes as the next frontier for L&D professionals
• Discussion on how traditional learning models won't disappear but will be "dethroned as the default" in favor of more customized, contextual approaches
Quotes:
• "I think it's allowing us to be less reactive and more proactive... the difference between being producers to being orchestrators and really thinking about how we are insightful." - Diane Gaa
• "AI isn't just a tool anymore... it's an extension of the way that we now process information." - Loren Sanders
• "Traditional learning models are not going to die, but they're going to be dethroned as the default. Their dominance is going to fade because we're entering an era defined by choice, context, and customization." - Loren Sanders
