As technological advancements and artificial intelligence (AI) continue to shape the job market, traditional methods of education and employment are being reevaluated. Businesses are increasingly turning to AI and machine learning tools to enhance their operations, which has significant implications for workforce development. This presents a challenge for companies as they try to align their organizational goals with individual career aspirations.
To explore this topic further, host Ron J Stefanski is joined by Kayvon Touran, CEO and Co-founder of Zal.ai, on this episode of DisruptED. They discuss the role of AI in workforce development and how companies are approaching learning and development (L&D).
Touran’s previous work at Noodle demonstrated his ability to merge technology with user-centric solutions, and his latest venture focuses on using AI to provide employees with a transparent and engaging way to track and advance their career skills. The partnership between AI and career development has the potential to reshape the future of workforce development, as businesses strive to align their strategic goals with employee growth and development. Through innovative solutions like Zal.ai, companies can optimize their operations and create a more dynamic and personalized approach to L&D for their employees.
The integration of AI in L&D can also help in enhancing skills measurement and verification. Companies can use these tools to identify gaps in employee skills that need improvement or new skills that are required for specific roles or tasks. With these insights, businesses can design targeted training programs that cater specifically to the needs of their employees.
However, there are also challenges associated with integrating AI in L&D such as ensuring data privacy, addressing bias in algorithms used by these tools, and ensuring that the technology is accessible to all employees regardless of their technical expertise.
In conclusion, the partnership between AI
