Finally, there may be ethical issues coupled with a lack of strong evidence of the benefits of AI tools for training and their cost-effectiveness.<\/p>\n While there is no question about the movement to using AI in the workplace, the report suggests that it also \u201chas the potential to improve the targeting of and access to adult learning systems.\u201d Thus, it is another potential \u2018weapon\u2019 in the training arsenal building on other technologies such as widely accepted approaches like videoconferencing and web-based platforms.<\/p>\n The paper draws on a literature review and insights provided by various experts in the fields of AI and training. AI is seen to have \u201cthe potential to increase training participation, including among currently underrepresented groups, by lowering some of the barriers to training that people experience and increasing training motivation, and \u201cAI solutions for training may improve the alignment of training to labour market needs.\u201d<\/p>\n However, there are also:<\/p>\n \u201cimportant potential drawbacks of using AI for training, such as the risk of decreasing the inclusiveness of adult learning systems due to the digital skills that are needed to use the tools, and the large amounts of data and high-quality technological infrastructure needed to develop AI tools. Using AI for training may also lead to significant changes in skill requirements in jobs related to training \u2026 generating resistance and negative employment effects for the professionals involved.\u201d<\/p>\n In short, using unfamiliar technologies and approaches can be challenging for VET teachers and trainers \u2013 which means that there can be resistance to their adoption.<\/p>\n These include:<\/p>\n In addition to those briefly outlined above, there are the high level of digital skills needed by participants and educators alike, which are often lacking in both groups.<\/p>\n Second, and as noted above, AI for training raises ethical and transparency issues, and \u201cat worst, it could lead to bad training decisions, when used to identify skill gaps or assess The good and the not so good of using AI in VET training<\/a> | VDC<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This paper, published in late 2021 by the OECD, is entitled \u201cOpportunities and
