Recently I have spent a considerable amount of time talking to and working with HR teams to help them understand the impact of technology. It is interesting that in almost all cases, the initial focus of the conversation has revolved around what the technology can do to help them in their roles. By that, they want to know what tasks within HR they can offload to the tech, and there is nothing wrong with that per se, however, but it misses the far bigger picture.

t a time when technology is advancing rapidly, the human component of teaching should be front and center, first and foremost.

The world has experienced a dramatic and irreversible change over the last few days. With the US requesting unrestricted access to Anthropic’s AI for use in the Department of War/Security, ethics have been placed at the very heart of the conversation.

Cognitive offloading occurs when we delegate mental tasks to external tools. It is something that we as humans have been doing for a VERY long time. Today of course we have calculators, calendars, maps, AI assistants and much more.

Artificial Intelligence has the ‘reading level’ of a post graduate student. In other words, there are not many terms or phrases that it does not understand. In giving our employees Gen AI tooling, we are expecting them to communicate with and work at the same level as a technology that operates at a far higher level of education.

It has now been three years since the Gen AI world exploded. Since then, businesses have been running around with their hair on fire trying to work out what to do with it, so they can show their shareholders how amazing the potential is. But, let’s take a look at what have really seen happen, and if you don’t believe me, ask others who work in a similar role.

We are proud to say that we have teamed up with the Greater Peterborough University Technical College (UTC) to help develop the existing English curriculum to better prepare their students.

Is ‘productivity increase’ a sufficient justification for the deployment of an AI solution or tool? On its own, no.
