The time is now for talent development professionals to experiment with artificial intelligence, according to UMU founder and president Dongshuo Li and ATD President and CEO Tony Bingham. In a June 29 UMU/ATD webinar, the leaders discussed the benefits and hesitations surrounding this new technology tool, and they both agreed that AI is not a fad and is a huge opportunity for the L&D field. “Invest the time to learn as much as you can and apply that learning to your companies … Start small, get results, and communicate the success,” said Bingham.
