"In a matter of months, AI has reshaped Learning and Development. According to a recent report by the Association for Talent Development (ATD), 80% of Instructional Designers now use AI tools in their workflow to outline courses, storyboard, write learning objectives, create content, and produce narration. This acceleration has created a dividing line in the profession. On one side, routine production work is becoming automated and less valuable. On the other hand, strategic thinking, creativity, and learning science expertise are becoming more essential than ever."
"In this scenario, AI performs most of the creative work, while the human serves as the reviewer. Much of the day is spent on tasks such as: Checking AI-generated drafts. Correcting inaccuracies. Adjusting formatting. Ensuring compliance and copyright safety. These tasks are expanding for many Instructional Designers, primarily since ATD reports that 96% of designers worry about copyright and intellectual property rights when using AI-generated content. This concern risks pushing Instructional Designers into an oversight-first role rather than a creative one."
AI adoption has rapidly transformed Learning and Development, with 80% of Instructional Designers using AI tools for course outlines, storyboarding, writing objectives, content creation, and narration. Routine production tasks are becoming automated and less valuable, while strategic thinking, creativity, and learning-science expertise are gaining importance. One possible future reduces designers to reviewers who check AI-generated drafts, correct inaccuracies, adjust formatting, and manage compliance and copyright concerns. Another future elevates designers into strategic roles focused on diagnosing performance gaps, mapping learning journeys, applying learning science, and designing blended or ecosystem-based learning experiences.
