HR Leaders, I want to share a "wake up" moment recently highlighted in the news. It was reported that a recent graduate of UCLA, while sitting in the commencement ceremony, held up his laptop for the camera and showed the ChatGPT prompts he used to complete his final project to earn his degree. Why does this matter? Everything we hold in principle about adult learning and development is rapidly changing. This includes all of your employees and how they do their jobs. The example above has opened up the discussion about the purpose of higher learning and the practices required to earn a degree. And it opens up a similar discussion about how employees should adopt AI and how it enables them to complete tasks. HR leaders are uniquely positioned to take lead in this conversation, as CEO's challenge business leaders to find efficiencies and productivity gains with the integration of AI. But at the root of this challenge is adult learning and the acceptance of, or resistance to, change. This article by David McCurdy in Fast Company does a great job of articulating the need to take control of the narrative and process in how we empower our workforce to thrive in the AI era. It is safe to call it a change management project with the primary change objective being employee behavior. I particularly like some key points he makes: 💠 Adapting and evolving with AI shouldn't come at the expense of the teammates it's intended to help. 💠 Organizations benefit from fostering a culture of learning, particularly when undergoing enterprise-wide transformations. 💠 Encouraging a test-and-learn mentality around new technology has helped at Insight. 💠 According to a recent Insight survey, 75% of employees believe investing in AI-powered devices will help their employer stay competitive, and a similar number (73%) expect it to help them be more productive. The irony about the graduate using ChatGPT to earn a degree is not dissimilar to how he will likely function in his career to earn a paycheck. We're at the threshold of change with our employees as we reskill/upskill our existing workforce while adapting with the skills of our new hires. Let me know what you think. https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/g6K69dzt #changemanagement #aihr #adultlearning #learninganddevelopment #strategichr #chro #fastcompany

1wWe are absolutely at a threshold possibilities. There is a few things that this advent of AI reminders of: -The dawn of the adoption of the internet. -The dawn of social media. These both had a clear before and after. Much like AI, each of these fulcrum points in history had a clear dividing line on how to contend with them. "The internet will kill our jobs and destroy the postal service." Both are here.... just transformed. "Social media will destroy the ability for us to communicate." We communicate more than ever.... just transformed. AI will transform how we think, how our workforces execute, how we see human behavior, how we learn, etc... Ignoring surrounding context, and their motivation, a graduate at UCLA utilizing generative AI to help themselves graduate and to seek the most direct means to pursue a successful career to me as someone who chooses to adopt and adapt. We don't criticize the first construction worker who chose to use a nail gun to build a house instead of a hammer. Of course, I will place my bumper here and say, as always, I don't know enough, and happy to be influenced or educated otherwise, but at a glance it seems to me AI is here to stay.... ...and will leave us transformed.
