Today's L&D is more than just content. Or at least it should be. When we think about AI in L&D, we often think about AI in learning design. Yet, to meet the needs of the business, L&D leaders need to orchestrate design, data, decisions and dialogue- incidentally, these are all things that AI can help with. In 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧, we already extensively use AI not just for content production, but also for user research, as a sparring partner and a sounding board (that was one of the top write-in use cases in mine and Donald's AI in L&D survey last year). In 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲, AI can help make sense of business, people and skills data (featured use case: asking AI to find gaps in learning or performance support provision in your organisation), or work as a thought partner to help you bridge learning and business strategy. Crucially, it can also help you engage stakeholders by preparing you for conversations and tailoring your communications to different audiences. In terms of 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭, AI interacts directly with employees to help them do their jobs: practise tricky conversations through role-plays and personalised feedback, prioritise and contextualise learning content to their needs, and, lately, retrieve exactly the information they need from almost anywhere in the company’s knowledge base. Finally, in 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, AI can help do more than just draft emails and reports. Working together with humans, AI can help select the right vendors for the learning ecosystem, streamline employee help desk operations, analyse, make sense of and action on different kinds of data generated in L&D, and, of course, help L&D communicate with the rest of the business. Researcher, producer, thought partner, communicator — if your organisation only uses AI to write scripts, you’re leaving three quarters of the L&D value chain on the table. I like a good table, and I hope this one will help you think about how to get more value out of your AI use. --- P.S. I spent quite a lot of time arguing with myself about the dots on the table. Feel free to disagree and suggest AI roles or use cases that I have missed! Nodes #GenAI #Learning #Talent #FutureOfWork #AIAdoption | 50 comments on LinkedIn

Excited to share our latest commentary just published in Nature Reviews Psychology! ✨ ""    Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT are reshaping education, promising improvements in learner performance and reduced cognitive load. 🤖 🤔But here's the catch: Do these immediate gains translate into deep and lasting learning? Reflecting on recent viral systematic reviews and meta-analyses on #ChatGPT and #Learning, we argue that educators and researchers need to clearly differentiate short-term performance benefits from genuine, durable learning outcomes. 💡 📌 Key takeaways: ✅ Immediate boosts with generative AI tools don't necessarily equal durable learning ✅ While generative AI can ease cognitive load, excessive reliance might negatively impact critical thinking, metacognition, and learner autonomy ✅ Long-term, meaningful skill development demands going beyond immediate performance metrics 🔖 Recommendations for future research and practice: 1️⃣ Shift toward assessing retention, transfer, and deep cognitive processing 2️⃣ Promote active learner engagement, critical evaluation, and metacognitive reflection 3️⃣ Implement longitudinal studies exploring the relationship between generative AI assistance and prior learner knowledge Special thanks 🙏 to my amazing collaborators and mentors, Samuel Greiff, Jason M. Lodge, and Dragan Gasevic, for their invaluable contributions, guidance, and encouragement. A big shout-out to Dr. Teresa Schubert for her insightful comments and wonderful support throughout the editorial process! 🌟 👉 Full article here: https://lnkd.in/g3YDQUrH 👉 Full-text Access (view-only version): https://rdcu.be/erwIt #GenerativeAI #ChatGPT #AIinEducation #LearningScience #Metacognition #Cognition #EdTech #EducationalResearch #BJETspecialIssue #NatureReviewsPsychology #FutureOfEducation #OpenScience

In a now viral study, researchers examined how using ChatGPT for essay writing affects our brains and cognitive abilities. They divided participants into three groups: one using ChatGPT, one using search engines, and one using just their brains. Through EEG monitoring, interviews, and analysis of the essays, they discovered some not surprising results about how AI use impacts learning and cognitive engagement. There were five key takeaways for me (although this is not an exhaustive list), within the context of this particular study: 1. The Cognitive Debt Issue The study indicates that participants who used ChatGPT exhibited the weakest neural connectivity patterns when compared to those relying on search engines or unaided cognition. This suggests that defaulting to generative AI may function as an intellectual shortcut, diminishing rather than strengthening cognitive engagement. Researchers are increasingly describing the tradeoff between short-term ease and productivity and long-term erosion of independent thinking and critical skills as “cognitive debt.” This parallels the concept of technical debt, when developers prioritise quick solutions over robust design, leading to hidden costs, inefficiencies, and increased complexity downstream. 2. The Memory Problem Strikingly, users of ChatGPT had difficulty recalling or quoting from essays they had composed only minutes earlier. This undermines the notion of augmentation; rather than supporting cognitive function, the tool appears to offload essential processes, impairing retention and deep processing of information. 3. The Ownership Gap Participants who used ChatGPT reported a reduced sense of ownership over their work. If we normalise over-reliance on AI tools, we risk cultivating passive knowledge consumers rather than active knowledge creators. 4. The Homogenisation Effect Analysis showed that essays from the LLM group were highly uniform, with repeated phrases and limited variation, suggesting reduced cognitive and expressive diversity. In contrast, the Brain-only group produced more varied and original responses. The Search group fell in between. 5. The Potential for Constructive Re-engagement 🧠 🤖 🤖 🤖 There is, however, promising evidence for meaningful integration of AI when used in conjunction with prior unaided effort: “Those who had previously written without tools (Brain-only group), the so-called Brain-to-LLM group, exhibited significant increase in brain connectivity across all EEG frequency bands when allowed to use an LLM on a familiar topic. This suggests that AI-supported re-engagement invoked high levels of cognitive integration, memory reactivation, and top-down control.” This points to the potential for AI to enhance cognitive function when it is used as a complement to, rather than a substitute for, initial human effort. At over 200 pages, expect multiple paper submissions out of this extensive body of work. https://lnkd.in/gzicDHp2 | 16 comments on LinkedIn

𝐍𝐨, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐋𝐌 𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐋𝐌 𝐮𝐬𝐞. See our paper for more results: "Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task" (link in the comments). For 4 months, 54 students were divided into three groups: ChatGPT, Google -ai, and Brain-only. Across 3 sessions, each wrote essays on SAT prompts. In an optional 4th session, participants switched: LLM users used no tools (LLM-to-Brain), and Brain-only group used ChatGPT (Brain-to-LLM). 👇 𝐈. 𝐍𝐋𝐏 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 - LLM Group: Essays were highly homogeneous within each topic, showing little variation. Participants often relied on the same expressions or ideas. - Brain-only Group: Diverse and varied approaches across participants and topics. - Search Engine Group: Essays were shaped by search engine-optimized content; their ontology overlapped with the LLM group but not with the Brain-only group. 𝐈𝐈. 𝐄𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐯𝐬. 𝐀𝐈 𝐉𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞) - Teachers detected patterns typical of AI-generated content and scoring LLM essays lower for originality and structure. - AI Judge gave consistently higher scores to LLM essays, missing human-recognized stylistic traits. 𝐈𝐈𝐈: 𝐄𝐄𝐆 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬 Connectivity: Brain-only group showed the highest neural connectivity, especially in alpha, theta, and delta bands. LLM users had the weakest connectivity, up to 55% lower in low-frequency networks. Search Engine group showed high visual cortex engagement, aligned with web-based information gathering. 𝑺𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 4 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒔: - LLM-to-Brain (🤖🤖🤖🧠) participants underperformed cognitively with reduced alpha/beta activity and poor content recall. - Brain-to-LLM (🧠🧠🧠🤖) participants showed strong re-engagement, better memory recall, and efficient tool use. LLM-to-Brain participants had potential limitations in achieving robust neural synchronization essential for complex cognitive tasks. Results for Brain-to-LLM participants suggest that strategic timing of AI tool introduction following initial self-driven effort may enhance engagement and neural integration. 𝐈𝐕. 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 - Quoting Ability: LLM users failed to quote accurately, while Brain-only participants showed robust recall and quoting skills. - Ownership: Brain-only group claimed full ownership of their work; LLM users expressed either no ownership or partial ownership. - Critical Thinking: Brain-only participants cared more about 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 and 𝘸𝘩𝘺 they wrote; LLM users focused on 𝘩𝘰𝘸. - Cognitive Debt: Repeated LLM use led to shallow content repetition and reduced critical engagement. This suggests a buildup of "cognitive debt", deferring mental effort at the cost of long-term cognitive depth.

𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆, 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘀 ➜ AI agents are modular, goal-directed systems that operate within clearly defined boundaries. They’re built to: * Use tools (APIs, browsers, databases) * Execute specific, task-oriented workflows * React to prompts or real-time inputs * Plan short sequences and return actionable outputs 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦: 𝘊𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘴, 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩, 𝘌𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘭 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘦, 𝘔𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘊𝘰𝘥𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 But even the most advanced are limited by scope. They don’t initiate. They don’t collaborate. They execute what we ask! 2. 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗜: 𝗔 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 ➜ Agentic AI is an architectural leap. It’s not just one smarter agent — it’s multiple specialized agents working together toward shared goals. These systems exhibit: * Multi-agent collaboration * Goal decomposition and role assignment * Inter-agent communication via memory or messaging * Persistent context across time and tasks * Recursive planning and error recovery * Distributed orchestration and adaptive feedback Agentic AI systems don’t just follow instructions. They coordinate. They adapt. They manage complexity.

AI Agents = autonomous tools for single-task execution Agentic AI = orchestrated ecosystems for workflow-level intelligence 𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: ⬇️ 𝗢𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗳𝘁: a smart thermostat, which can be an AI Agent. It keeps your room at 21°C. Maybe it learns your schedule. But it’s working alone. 𝗢𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: Agentic AI. A full smart home ecosystem — weather-aware, energy-optimized, schedule-sensitive. Agents talk to each other. They share data. They make coordinated decisions to optimize your comfort, cost, and security in real time. That’s the shift = From pure task automation to goal-driven orchestration. From single-agent logic to collaborative intelligence. This is what’s coming = This is Agentic AI. And if we confuse “agent” with “agentic,” we risk underbuilding for what AI is truly capable of.

In fact, after guiding many organisations on this journey over the past few years, I've noticed two consistent drivers of AI adoption: • A culture that encourages experimentation • A strategic mandate from leadership that unlocks time, resources, and the infrastructure needed to make AI work at scale Without both, even the most powerful tools are used at a fraction of their potential, leaving the promise of AI unrealised and considerable investments wasted. ➡️ If you have a conservative organisational culture, one that disincentivises taking risks and change, and there's no clear mandate to use AI, you'll have 𝗶𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹. Try as you might, AI training will hardly translate into people using AI in their work. The knowledge might be there but the impact isn't. ➡️ If you have an innovation culture, one where experimentation is encouraged, but where people are unsure if they're allowed to use AI, you'll have 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 - some people tinkering on their own, finding useful use cases and workarounds, but with no way to accumulate, build on, and spread this knowledge. That's where a lot of organisations find themselves in 2025 - the majority of employees are using AI in some form, yet their efforts are siloed and scattered. ➡️ If you have both an innovation culture *and* and an active mandate, you're 𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and there are few companies still at your level. That's an exciting place to be! That's also where a lot of organisations imagine they would get to as soon as they teach people to use AI, often without first doing the culture and mandate work. ➡️ If your organisation encourages the use of AI but your conservative culture keeps hitting the brakes, you'll likely end up with 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲. That's also where a considerable number of organisations are right now: driven by expectations of benefits from AI adoption but burdened by processes that are incompatible with grassroots innovation. There is a difference between individual and organisational AI adoption. Organisational adoption is frustratingly complex — it requires coordination across departments and leaders, alignment with business priorities, and systems that enable change, not just enthusiasm. Curiosity gets people started. Supportive systems turn momentum into scale. Nodes #GenAI #AIAdoption #FutureOfWork #Talent

It's different from what we've had before: 𝐔𝐩𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 ("teach me") - commonly done through hands-on learning with feedback and reflection, such as scenario simulations, in-person role-plays, facilitated discussions, building and problem-solving. None of that has become less relevant, but AI has enabled scale through AI-enabled role-plays, coaching, and other avenues for personalised feedback. 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 ("help me") - support in the flow of work, previously often in the format of short how-to resources located in convenient places. AI has elevated that in at least two ways: through knowledge management, which helps retrieve the necessary, contextualised information in the workflow; and general & specialised copilots that enhance the speed and, arguably, the expertise of the employee. Yet, 𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 (‘do it for me’) is different – it takes the task off your plate entirely. We’ve seen hints of it with automations, but the text and analysis capabilities of genAI mean that increasingly 'skilled' tasks are now up for grabs. Case in point: where written communication was once a skill to be learned, email and report writing are now increasingly being handed off to AI. No skill required (for better or worse) – AI does it for you. But here's a plot twist: a lot of that enablement happens outside of L&D tech. It may happen in sales or design software, or even your general-purpose enterprise AI. All of which points to a bigger shift: roles, tasks, and ways of working are changing – and L&D must tune into how work is being reimagined to adapt alongside it.

The next generation isn’t just using AI. They’re being shaped by it. That’s why we need a more focused, intentional approach: Teaching them not just how to use these tools — but how to question them.

I frequently see conversations where terms like LLMs, RAG, AI Agents, and Agentic AI are used interchangeably, even though they represent fundamentally different layers of capability. This visual guides explain how these four layers relate—not as competing technologies, but as an evolving intelligence architecture. Here’s a deeper look: 1. 𝗟𝗟𝗠 (𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹) This is the foundation. Models like GPT, Claude, and Gemini are trained on vast corpora of text to perform a wide array of tasks: – Text generation – Instruction following – Chain-of-thought reasoning – Few-shot/zero-shot learning – Embedding and token generation However, LLMs are inherently limited to the knowledge encoded during training and struggle with grounding, real-time updates, or long-term memory. 2. 𝗥𝗔𝗚 (𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗹-𝗔𝘂𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻) RAG bridges the gap between static model knowledge and dynamic external information. By integrating techniques such as: – Vector search – Embedding-based similarity scoring – Document chunking – Hybrid retrieval (dense + sparse) – Source attribution – Context injection …RAG enhances the quality and factuality of responses. It enables models to “recall” information they were never trained on, and grounds answers in external sources—critical for enterprise-grade applications. 3. 𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 RAG is still a passive architecture—it retrieves and generates. AI Agents go a step further: they act. Agents perform tasks, execute code, call APIs, manage state, and iterate via feedback loops. They introduce key capabilities such as: – Planning and task decomposition – Execution pipelines – Long- and short-term memory integration – File access and API interaction – Use of frameworks like ReAct, LangChain Agents, AutoGen, and CrewAI This is where LLMs become active participants in workflows rather than just passive responders. 4. 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗜 This is the most advanced layer—where we go beyond a single autonomous agent to multi-agent systems with role-specific behavior, memory sharing, and inter-agent communication. Core concepts include: – Multi-agent collaboration and task delegation – Modular role assignment and hierarchy – Goal-directed planning and lifecycle management – Protocols like MCP (Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol) and A2A (Google’s Agent-to-Agent) – Long-term memory synchronization and feedback-based evolution Agentic AI is what enables truly autonomous, adaptive, and collaborative intelligence across distributed systems. Whether you’re building enterprise copilots, AI-powered ETL systems, or autonomous task orchestration tools, knowing what each layer offers—and where it falls short—will determine whether your AI system scales or breaks. If you found this helpful, share it with your team or network. If there’s something important you think I missed, feel free to comment or message me—I’d be happy to include it in the next iteration. | 119 comments on LinkedIn

Despite our obsession with AI's impact on "academic integrity," two recent analyses show that rather than asking AI for answers, learners are much more likely to use AI to redesign the learning experience in an attempt to learn more. Common strategies include asking AI to apply the protégé effect, using AI to apply the Pareto principle and enhancing levels of emotional metacognition within a learning experience, in the process redesigning the experience sometimes beyond recognition. The uncomfortable truth? Learners are effectively running a real-time audit of our design decisions, processes & practices—and as instructional designers, we don't come out too well. In this week's blog post, I explore what learner + AI behaviour reveals about our profession and how we might turn this into an opportunity for innovation in instrucitonal design practices and principles.

Mit seinem AI Mode und dem Agenten Mariner zieht Google eine Plattformschicht über das offene Web. Google transformiert sich von einer klassischen Suchmaschine zum zentralen Marktplatz, Assistenten und Zahlungsdienstleister. Nutzer können künftig Produkte direkt in der Google-Suche finden, vergleichen, kaufen und bezahlen – ohne die Plattform zu verlassen. Diese Entwicklung hat weitreichende Folgen für das gesamte Internet-Ökosystem. Die Auswirkungen treffen nicht nur klassische Online-Händler, sondern auch Marktplatzgiganten wie Amazon, Verlage, Übersetzungsdienste wie DeepL, Reservierungsanbieter wie OpenTable, Buchungsseiten wie Ticketmaster oder Sprachschulen wie Duolingo. Wer weiterhin sichtbar und relevant bleiben will, muss sich auf die neuen Spielregeln einstellen, in KI-Overviews und Shopping-Graphen präsent sein und seine Inhalte für KI-Systeme optimieren. Denn OpenAI baut etwas Ähnliches auf und auch Amazon bewegt sich in diese Richtung. Der Wettstreit der Plattformen ist damit endgültig im KI-Zeitalter angekommen. Weiterlesen auf F.A.Z.

In a new paper, British philosopher Andy Clark (author of the 2003 book Natural Born Cyborgs, see comment below) offers a rebuttal to the pervasive anxiety surrounding new technologies, particularly generative AI, by reframing the nature of human cognition. He begins by acknowledging familiar concerns: that GPS erodes our spatial memory, search engines inflate our sense of knowledge, and tools like ChatGPT might diminish creativity or encourage intellectual laziness. These fears, Clark observes, mirror ancient worries, like Plato’s warning that writing would weaken memory, and stem from a deeply ingrained but flawed assumption: the idea that the mind is confined to the biological brain. Clark challenges this perspective with his extended mind thesis, arguing that humans have always been cognitive hybrids, seamlessly integrating external tools into our thinking processes. From the gestures we use to offload mental effort to the scribbled notes that help us untangle complex problems, our cognition has never been limited to what happens inside our skulls. This perspective transforms the debate about AI from a zero-sum game, where technology is seen as replacing human abilities, into a discussion about how we distribute cognitive labour across a network of biological and technological resources. Recent advances in neuroscience lend weight to this view. Theories like predictive processing suggest that the brain is fundamentally geared toward minimising uncertainty by engaging with the world around it. Whether probing a river’s depth with a stick or querying ChatGPT to clarify an idea, the brain doesn’t distinguish between internal and external problem-solving—it simply seeks the most efficient path to resolution. This fluid interplay between mind and tool has shaped human history, from the invention of stone tools to the design of modern cities, each innovation redistributing cognitive tasks and expanding what we can achieve. Generative AI, in Clark’s view, is the latest chapter in this story. While critics warn that it might stifle originality or turn us into passive curators of machine-generated content, evidence suggests a more nuanced reality. The key, Clark argues, lies in how we integrate these technologies into our cognitive ecosystems. https://lnkd.in/gUmxE57w | 41 comments on LinkedIn

One of the most interesting things about the original research is that it provides a clear metric for measuring AI performance improvement that is not tied to benchmarks that keep on being superceded, needing new benchmarks. We can now rank AI models and agents by their half-life - the time for human tasks for which they achieve 50% success rate. Of course we are usually more interested in models that can achieve 99+% success rates - depending on the task - but the relative consistency of the half life decay means the T50 threshold predicts whatever success rate we aim for, both today, and at future dates if the original trend holds Generally the decay is due to cumulative errors or going off course. But the decay is not always consistent, as there can be subtasks of uneven difficulty, or agents can recover from early mistakes. Interestingly, humans don't follow pure exponential decay curves. Our success rate falls off more slowly over very long tasks, suggesting we have broader context, allowing us to recover from early mistakes. The research was applied to tasks in research or software engineering. The dynamics of this performance evolution may or may not apply to other domains. Certainly, this reframing of assessing the development of AI capabilities and its comparison to human work is a very useful advance to the benchmarking approach.

Here’s what I take away: 🚫 HR is no longer just about people. 🚫 IT is no longer just about systems. ✅ The real value lies in how people and systems interact—seamlessly, intelligently, adaptively. Let’s be honest, most organizations still operate in silos: - HR builds talent and culture - IT builds systems and infrastructure But the future of work is all about integration. What if you make that happen? Think about it: Can you redesign work itself? Not roles. Not org charts. But the actual FLOW of work. Because that’s what Moderna’s doing. They are reimagining how humans and machines co-create value. IBM is doing the same. They use HR AI agents that handle questions, routes issues, and manage HR processes. This isn’t about cutting costs. It’s about building a business that adapts faster to the next disruption. They are building resilience. I recognize that HR and IT both have unique complexities, and in many companies are simply too far apart or too large merge shortly. Still, it still got me thinking. As an HR leader: -> How comfortable are you with data, automation, and AI? -> Could you confidently lead both people strategy and digital infrastructure? -> What would need to change for that answer to be yes? This isn’t a tech conversation. It’s an organization and leadership revolution. The next era of HR won’t be like today's HR at all. It will be integrated, tech-savvy, and central to how business gets done. Time to level up.

switching to non-augmented tasks. It is definitely interesting research, but I am very cautious about the conclusions reached by the authors, partly since they are to a degree contradictory, and also not necessarily generalizable. The authors implicitly criticize AI for removing the “most cognitively demanding parts” of work, implying that this reduces fulfillment. But the outputs and productivity are clearly improved. Are they suggesting workers create inferior output for the sake of engagement? It is worth noting that other recent research points to improved emotion and engaement with genAI collaboration. The emotional impact of genAI collaboration will vary substantially across use cases, especially with the nature of the task, and certainly with the cultural context. It appears the use case here was performance reviews, which is not representative of many other types of cognitive work. The authors also say that AI-assisted tasks reduce users’ sense of control, thus lowering motivation. But they say this sense of control is restored during subsequent solo tasks, even though those are when boredom and disengagement rise. Having said that, for some tasks and work design the issues they raise could be real and substantial. These are the sound remedies they suggest: ➡️Blend AI and Human Contributions: Use gen AI as a foundation for tasks while encouraging humans to personalize, expand, and refine outputs to retain creativity and ownership. ➡️Design Engaging Solo Tasks: Follow AI-supported work with autonomous, creative tasks to help employees stay motivated and exercise their own skills. ➡️Make AI Collaboration Transparent: Clearly communicate AI’s supporting role to preserve employees’ sense of control and fulfillment in their contributions. ➡️Rotate Between Tasks: Alternate between independent and AI-assisted tasks to maintain engagement and productivity throughout the workday. ➡️Train Employees to Use AI Mindfully: Provide training that helps employees critically and strategically integrate AI, strengthening their autonomy and judgment.

There is a lot of talk about how L&D needs to be proactive, not reactive. But how do we do that when technology is moving so fast? It starts with having a point of view on where the world of work is headed, and then building a bridge to that future. Because if we only make incremental changes from where we are now, we'll likely be playing catch-up for a long time—and risk preparing people for the work of today, not tomorrow. Here are some of the forces I think about a lot these days: 🎓 AI seems to be denting the supply of entry level jobs. What does that mean for the talent pipeline later down the line? And how should we onboard the graduates that *do* get employed so they can add value on top of AI? 📈 AI gets lower performers closer to higher performers (HBS & BCG study), and individuals working with AI match the performance of *teams* without AI (HBS & P&G study). How do we evaluate, recognise and enhance expertise in such a world? 🏁 Vibe coding/marketing/learning/something else, single founder unicorns, service-as-a-software (not software-as-a-service!) and zero latency economy are just some of the predictions that would affect both the nature and pace of work. What support would our people and organisations need to adapt? L&D isn't short on AI tools. What we need is a vision—to imagine how AI will reshape performance, learning, and the world of work at large. And, ultimately, what L&D needs to 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 to have a role in it.

In my work with boards and exec teams one of the pointed questions is always the degree of focus in AI initiatives. Johnson & Johnson's divergent-convergent strategy is highly instructive. Some commentators have suggested that this means the use case proliferation was a mistake. J&J's CIO doesn't see it like that. "You had to take an iterative approach to say, ‘Where are these technologies useful and where are they not?’... We had the right plan three years ago, but we matured our plan based on three years of understanding,” Leaders cannot know in advance where the value will emerge. The challenge is to select the right scope of experimenation before selecting focus use cases. Another shift was from centralized AI by a board governance to function-specific ownership such as commercial, R&D, and supply chain, enabling better prioritization and faster iteration. Again, these models suit different phases of the AI adoption journey. Most organizations are far earlier than J&J, which has strong maturity. On metrics: "The company is tracking progress in three buckets: first, the ability to successfully deploy and implement use cases; second, how widely they are adopted; and third, the extent to which they deliver on business outcomes." I strongly suspect that they are not using a "win rate" on their use case success. There are similarities to VC portfolios, where a few big wins make all the investments worthwhile. | 12 comments on LinkedIn

3.000 KI-Assistenten integriert in alle Teams. Das ist die KI-Reise von Moderna: “It’s hard to convey—within the hype—how much AI is changing things and how much Moderna is using it across the board” Dieses Zitat von Wade Davis, Modernas Head of Digital for Business, zeigt sehr schön wie schwer der allumfassende Wandel von KI zu beschreiben ist. Es sind eben nicht 2 - 3 Use Cases ein ein paar Bereichen. Viel mehr geht es um eine Veränderung der Denk- und Arbeitsweise. Während viele Unternehmen noch zögern, hat Moderna bereits konkrete Schritte unternommen, um KI strategisch zu implementieren: 1. Zusammenlegung von HR und IT unter einer Führung 2. Systematische Analyse aller Arbeitsprozesse 3. Klare Entscheidung: Was macht Mensch & Maschine? 4. Entwicklung von 3.000 spezialisierten KI-Assistenten 5. Integration dieser Assistenten in komplexe Workflows Der taktische Ansatz dahinter ist bemerkenswert: ↳ Nicht einzelne KI-Projekte, sondern eine umfassende Transformation ↳ Keine isolierten Tools, sondern vernetzte Systeme ↳ Kein Fokus auf Stellenabbau, sondern auf Neugestaltung der Arbeit KI-Integration ist keine einmalige Initiative, sondern ein fortlaufender Prozess der Organisationsentwicklung. Moderna zeigt, dass der Erfolg nicht von einzelnen Tools abhängt, sondern von der strategischen Neugestaltung der Arbeit selbst. Genau das ist der Weg, den es zu gehen gilt. | 12 Kommentare auf LinkedIn
