Finally got around to posting my thoughts on today's opening keynote from @danielhulme.bsky.social
It was truly mind-bending. He painted a vision of AI not just as a tool—but as a force that could reshape everything.

Really challenging stuff here @danielhulme.bsky.social
If we pushed towards an economic singularity where paid labour was not a necessity - how would you want to spend your time?
#OpeningAddress #LT23uk
Massive existential question here from @danielhulme.bsky.social - if medical intelligence advances this quickly and we can effectively cure death, what will that do to society?
#LT23uk #OpeningAddress
Organisational hierarchy vs reality?

A great callback to yesterday’s session on informal networks by @jeppehansgaard.bsky.social
#OpeningAddress #LT23uk @danielhulme.bsky.social
6 applications of AI vs important concerns.
We need to be careful of overachieving AI- rather than asking what happens if it goes wrong, we should ask what happens if it goes VERY right!
#LT23uk #OpeningAddress @danielhulme.bsky.social
Wowzers. The opportunities offered by LLMs now vs in the next four years.
By 2029 most AI systems will be able to apply the full scientific method to an 80% useful level and start to provide genuinely disruptive solutions to big problems.
#LT23uk #OpeningAddress @danielhulme.bsky.social
Intelligence can be defined as goal-directed, adaptive behaviour. The key word is adaptive. It’s about building systems that are automated but are also able to adapt themselves based on results.
Most AI systems aren’t there yet.

#OpeningAddress at @learningtechuk.bsky.social #LT25uk - it’s @donaldhtaylor.bsky.social checking on our optimism and pessimism levels…
Optimist here 🙋🏻♂️
Just posted my video summary of the #OpeningAddress from @learningtechuk.bsky.social #LT25uk plus some thoughts from other attendees.

@dani-johnson.bsky.social talking about how the L&D profession needs different skills.
“What we used to define as our job and the way that we hire has to change. We should be thinking: business people first, learning experts second.”
We are at a crossroads.
#LT25uk #OpeningAddress
Latest data showing over 50% of CEOs have their number one priority as ‘Growth’. Workforce development is priority 5.
Hmm. So who’s going to be taking of that growth then…?
Some important reflections here for L&D folk.
#LT25uk #OpeningAddress @dani-johnson.bsky.social
This is HUGE. Data showing L&D involved in less than half of business strategy conversations than in 2022.

‘Doppleganger Development Agents’: just one of the ways that GenAI is likely to change how we work and learn. Is anyone already doing this?

#LT25uk #OpeningAddress
Next up it’s @dani-johnson.bsky.social talking about the latest trends from learning vendors this year. No surprises- they’re all being driven by GenAI!

1) Which technologies would be most impactful to my employer?
2) Which technologies would be most impactful in my next role?
3) How are emerging technologies changing how you live your everyday life?
4) Why? How?

5 better questions to ask at @learningtechuk.bsky.social #OpeningAddress #LT25uk
@lnddave.bsky.social
@lnddave.bsky.social asking us to flex that curiosity muscle and ask why more often. #LT25uk #OpeningAddress
#LT25uk #OpeningAddress @lnddave.bsky.social Talking about the ‘baggage of what is’ - what we carry with us that limits our abilities. Like when we see a new technology and ask “how do I do what I already do with this technology?”
We should reframe this question.

#LT25uk #OpeningAddress @lnddave.bsky.social David referencing George Carlin in talking about how much our words matter.
