AI and neuroscience are two sides of the same coin, in the eyes of this leading expert in cognitive science.
Artificial Intelligence is all around us, in our banking, our online shopping, even our streaming services for entertainment. It’s controlling the lighting on our campuses and city blocks, it’s monitoring our security cameras, and it’s helping neuroscientists map the complex thing we know – the human brain. Yet learning professionals, in general, have been slow to use the tools that are readily available for other purposes. What would it be like if each learner could be “interviewed” by your LMS and then get a recommendation of a series of courses tailored to those individual responses?
Consultant Margie Meacham says that "While I’d like to say this is the future, the truth is that it is already happening today. We’re just not seeing it much in Talent Development and Education. But that is starting to change."
While it is impossible to completely predict the future, one thing we know for sure – there are going to be many changes in the future of work. Luckily, our brains are uniquely adapted to change and are rewiring themselves constantly.
That is why LearningToGo is committed to providing evidence-based and rigorously researched content and services to its clients.
In particular, Learningtogo now offers AI integration services, including chatbot design and process automation to educators and corporate trainers.
While this might seem like a departure from Meacham's well-known efforts in the application of neuroscience, Meacham explains that "bot disciplines are studying how neural networks make sense of the world. And the scientists who work in this exciting field are increasingly working together to solve some of the biggest questions of mankind. The practical applications of AI and the tools it provides to help you teach, learn, and improve workplace performance is the subject of Margie’s recent book: AI in Talent Development: Capitalize on the AI Revolution to Transform the Way You Work, Learn, and Live.
In an era of fake news, overblown claims and unproven results, Margie Meacham prides herself on the scientific integrity and peer-reviewed credibility of her work and her results. She invites you to discover the difference by engaging with her at [email protected].
LearningToGo also offers custom personalized workshops and online tools to help interested participants harness the full potential of their brain and transform their work and personal life through the application of cognitive science.
When asked what led her to investigate the uses of AI to personalize learning, Meacham replied "I go where the science goes. And for the past several years, neuroscience and AI have been on a collision course. Thanks to neuroscience, we are uncovering the hidden code of what makes us who we are, and what can make us truly great. AI is helping us unlock that code. At the same time, the more we understand the human brain, the better our artificial ones can become."
