With the launch of four new AI-powered features in Totara Version 19.1 (V19.1), we\u2019re excited to embark on a game-changing adventure. Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the flow of work has massive potential to streamline the way L&D manage and deliver essential learner workflows, while enhancing the learner experience.<\/p>\n

This blog post provides useful context on how to get the most out of Totara\u2019s new AI-powered tools<\/a>.<\/p>\n

AI is already transforming the future of workplace learning\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

AI has dominated the L&D and HR tradeshow keynote talks for a number of years, but while the hype has been high, this hasn\u2019t always translated to into meaningful features that truly benefit both L&D and the learner themselves.<\/p>\n

With the launch of four new AI-powered plugins, we\u2019ve delivered features with focused, practical uses. These all support our principles of a human-centric approach to AI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As these principles cover, AI is a useful tool that can drive efficiency – but all AI suggestions should have human verification to ensure they’re fit for purpose<\/strong>. AI can give incorrect results. That’s why our tools, such as the writing assistant, allow you to edit suggestions before using them.<\/span><\/p>\n

First-generation features that will evolve\u00a0and develop<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Generative AI is transforming the digital landscape – but it moves fast, and with speed comes change. Therefore, it\u2019s important we flag that the AI-powered tools released in Totara V19.1<\/span>\u00a0are not standard features. They\u2019re first-generation innovations<\/span><\/b> designed to evolve rapidly as we – and the world – learn more. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What you try today might be refined tomorrow. The LLM (large language model) engines that these plugins use (initially via connecting your OpenAI account) will change.\u00a0These changes are out of our control, and could alter the results you get. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Research and Development (R&D) Team are committed to continually evolving and refining how these features are used within Totara, acknowledging the rapid pace of change of the generative AI itself. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
