IORMA Webinar : How AI is enhancing Personal Development
Thursday 24 February 2022
The pandemic, the lockdowns and working from home have changed how individuals and societies think and act. As a result, personal development has become more important, for one’s career, cognitive health or just pleasure!
Every person has a different style of how he or she learns and processes new information. Learning is likely to be more effective if these preferences are taken into account.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) allows learning to be personalised by adapting to the needs of each learner, whether it be by the means of encouragement, the speed or the media used.
Experts who design the learning platforms will discuss the benefits that AI poses for personal development, and the challenges ahead with those who train and educate.
