F inally, I have been able to put my hands on an Apple Vision Pro. Thanks to the very kind people of the Helsinki XR Center who let me spend more than one hour with it, and my buddy Gianni who let me have another half an hour, I managed to have enough time to play around with the device to have an informed opinion about it.

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.

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the discussion about artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on jobs is more relevant than ever. I’ve witnessed first-hand how AI can be a powerful force for both innovation and disruption. While the advent of AI presents exciting opportunities for augmenting human capabilities and enhancing our work, it also poses significant challenges that we, as a society, must be prepared to face.

By definition, artists and designers are creative people. They work in these jobs because they have talent and skills that they love to share with the world. So, it isn’t surprising that many of them are cautious or distrustful about the impact generative AI will have on their professional lives. However, like writers, architects, and other creative professionals, many find that it creates opportunities to work more efficiently and even enhance their creativity.
