To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

Thanks to AI, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to know when we are looking at something that exists in the real world and when we’re looking at a computer-generated image. The same is true for sounds and videos, as generative AI tools become increasingly sophisticated and capable of creating content that can fool us. Sometimes it doesn’t even take AI – as we saw recently with the fuss over Princess Katherine’s photoshopped family snaps.

Remote meetings are here to stay - and many are BORING. If you are trying to engage your learners (or any audience), compelling content is critical. But trying to create stimulating content with the same tools you’ve always had is hard, right? Thankfully, wrong! Terrific tools in PowerPoint along with visual assets help you create the kind of dynamic content you need to capture your remote audience’s attention, with functions that allow for interactive sequences and navigation.

Public trust in AI is shifting in a direction contrary to what companies like Google, OpenAI and Microsoft are hoping for, as suggested by a recent survey based on Edelman data. The study suggests that trust in companies building and selling AI tools dropped to 53%, compared to 61% five years ago. While the decline wasn’t as severe in less developed countries, in the U.S., it was even more pronounced, falling from 50% to just 35%.

You could be forgiven for thinking that journalists, like others who make their living from writing, would be among those most in danger of being made redundant by generative AI. After all, tools available today at practically no cost are already capable of churning out thousands of articles by the minute. However, studies such as this one suggest that nearly three quarters of us still prefer to read news content that’s written by a human.
