The article reflects on insights gained from the ATD Learning Technologies conference, emphasizing the importance of focusing on human stories and needs over merely adopting new technologies. It highlights a growing fatigue among professionals overwhelmed by the rapid pace of change in learning and development, particularly concerning AI. The author suggests prioritizing understanding the problems to be solved before seeking solutions, emphasizing that the human experience should drive the development and implementation of technology in the L&D sector.
Talk to people. Listen to their stories. You never know until you know their whole story. Be kind. Don't expect technology to solve your human issues.
Many humans struggle today with even keeping up with the changes, especially in the world of AI.
Find and understand a problem worth solving first, and then look for a solution (AI or not). Otherwise, you'll be tired and overwhelmed.
The pace of change hurts. Many humans are exhausted just by reading articles, listening to podcasts, or watching TikToks.
