While many folks are jumping onto the AI “bandwagon,” Margie Meacham has been building educational chatbots for clients since 2013. She has spoken at professional events around the world, explaining how modern chatbots deliver scalable adaptive learning experiences using machine learning and generative AI.

• Her book, “AI and Talent Development,” was published by ATD Press in 2020, and continues to be one of the highest rated publications on this subject on Amazon.
• She developed the adaptive learning “consultant” for the United Nations, “Blu,” which won the Tech & Learning Excellence Award in 2022.
• Her AI and Data Science course, designed for a major Financial Services client, won the Brandon Hall award for custom content in 2021.
• She trains the talent development teams of the U.S. Armed Forces on AI and Emerging Technologies.
• Two projects she’s working on now are an Adaptive Learning with A course for LinkedIn Learning and an on demand course for ATD called “AI and Emerging Technologies.”

Margie offers her own masterclass, “AI for Talent Professionals”, which prepares knowledge workers to use AI to enhance their own productivity by gaining workflow efficiencies. Margie is a featured writer for the ATD Science of Learning blog, and served as an advisor on the 2023 ATD Research Report, “AI in Learning and Talent Development: Embracing Its Future Potential in the Workplace.” She also wrote the AI section for the new release of ATD’s Talent Development Body of Knowledge (TDBoK).

• Explain how generative AI models work
• Create effective prompts in three steps
• Use generative AI to streamline content creation, including text, audio tracks and videos

• 5:30 - 6:00 Networking
