Introduction
Prior to the invention of the printing press, bookmakers employed scribes to hand copy manuscripts. Obviously, this role became obsolete soon after. However, the demand for printed material led to the emergence of the printing industry, which then went on to employ many people in different roles. Any disruptive technological invention will render some roles obsolete, but at the same time, it will result in the creation of new roles too.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being seen as the next big disruptor in the way we work. So, how is AI going to change the workplace ecosystem, and specifically our roles as instructional designers (ID)? Let’s see.
By the end of this module, you will be able to:
- Explain the impact of AI on our work as IDs
- Define common terms related to AI
- Compare AI with human intelligence
