The Future of Learning In An Era of Artificial Intelligence
What are we teaching machines — and what will they start teaching us? In this mind-bending keynote session, futurist Amy Webb will offer a provocative series of snapshots from the near and far future of artificial intelligence. For as long as we’ve had computers, we humans have been trying to anthropomorphize them. Conversation between humans and machines, and ultimately machines with each other, is the foundation upon which modern AI is being built. Right now, we are on the brink of a great AI awakening, and that will dramatically impact employee training, performance and development. What happens when the machines really do learn not just to think – but are trained to out-think us humans?
In this compelling keynote talk audiences will learn:
- How emerging technologies impact learning
- A methodology for predicting future trends
- How AI can be integrated with learning productively
