Apple hosted a number of visionOS developers at its headquarters for an event that's been described as a kind of "Cozy WWDC". The day-long event last week was titled "envision the future" and covered building 3D immersive content as well as Apple's SwiftUI, ARKIt, and RealityKit tooling, and the day concluded with a Q&A and mixer. "It was a fantastic experience, and I hope Apple holds many more like it," one developer wrote.

Without a doubt, one of the standout use cases for generative AI in business is in customer service and support. As customers ourselves, most people reading this will probably have experienced the frustration of dealing with traditional automated customer service systems. But this is changing, thanks to today’s powerful large language models and natural language chatbots.

Before stepping into my Rival Stars Horse Racing: VR Edition demo at Gamescom this year, I'll admit that I wasn’t the biggest fan of horses. They’re big, scary and unsurprisingly very strong, so I couldn’t understand why people go out of their way to ride them. However, after spending time with these monstrously-sized creatures in virtual reality, I’m finally starting to see their appeal.

Generative artificial intelligence has become a powerful tool for enhancing productivity and tackling everyday tasks. These tools can create new content, including text, images and even code, based on the input they receive. While the potential of these tools is immense, to effectively harness their power requires a specific skill set — the ability to write good prompts.

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.

There is little doubt that artificial intelligence will continue to be the most talked-about technology of 2025. From the boardroom to the classroom and the hospital to the home, it’s only going to become more deeply interwoven into our lives. As the influence of AI grows, so does the urgency of addressing the ethical issues surrounding its impact on humans and society.

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.

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience with its intended learners? Could it be because learners have been conditioned by very poor learning experiences over the past two decades, combined with the kinks of technological innovation? Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
