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.

It’s clear to me that AI is going to have a hugely transformative impact on the way we live, work and play. But it’s also clear that there’s a huge amount of hype, misunderstanding and misinformation around the subject. This isn’t surprising given the amount of money on the table – AI is forecast to add up to $15.7 trillion to global GDP by 2030, and no one wants to miss out on their slice of the pie.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a transformative force that is reshaping industries from healthcare to finance today. Yet, the distinction between AI and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is not always clearly understood and is causing confusion as well as fear. AI is designed to excel at specific tasks, while AGI does not yet exist. It is a theoretical concept that would be capable of performing any intellectual task that a human can perform across a wide range of activities.

Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
