Saw this move from Google this morning—thanks to Marc Steven Ramos (a very fine creator and curator of thought-provoking content). This statement towards the end stood out for me: many of the platform’s “courses were unused,” and “not relevant to the work we do today.”
But Google is not representative of most companies. Not even of tech companies. They can (and should!) be AI-first in every respect—yesterday. Virtually all other companies will take a slower approach, maintaining their learning content and systems, for now.
So don’t think you need to drop everything immediately. Instead, work out what a more measured approach looks like for your organisation. Think about how you’re preparing your data, metadata, internal and external content—and your people—for this not-so-distant future when agents are doing more and more of the work, multiplying productivity. Help your company lead the way—don’t await instructions!
That said, I think most three-year horizons will include the other big pull quote from this piece:
Google will “focus on teaching employees how to use modern artificial intelligence tools in their daily work routines.”
That, I believe, is where the most worthy—and therefore sustainable—L&D efforts lie: not in creating courses and force-feeding them to people, but in enabling people to work better with AI.
