About this episode

Discover the transformative power of artificial intelligence in HR as we explore how generative AI is reshaping the workplace.

The guest this time is John Kannapell, President, COO and Board Member at CYPHER Learning, a company leading the disruption of learning platforms to unleash human potential with modern learning experiences.

Listen as John discusses the ethical use of AI, emphasizing the significance of transparency, fairness, and accountability in HR practices.

With a recent survey revealing many employees are using AI without their bosses' knowledge, John stresses the importance of open dialogue and clear policies to guide ethical AI usage, bringing to light the necessity for HR professionals to lead the charge in this new digital age.

Join us for an energizing discussion on how HR can spearhead green AI strategies, driving environmentally responsible and energy-efficient practices within organizations. John shares insights into Cypher Learning's collaboration with AWS to mitigate environmental impacts and boost employee engagement. We highlight the pivotal role of green learning initiatives and the selection of SaaS solutions that align with sustainability goals, underlining AI's potential to support a healthier bottom line while reducing carbon footprints. The conversation serves as a compelling call to action for HR professionals to champion sustainability.

Witness the dynamic impact of AI on organizational efficiency, where innovation thrives from the ground up. John recounts remarkable stories of AI enhancing learning and training, such as an education company creating 2,800 courses in just 30 days. We emphasize the responsibility of adopting AI equitably, with tools like AI CrossCheck ensuring alignment with corporate standards. As we wrap up, we're excited to invite you to connect with us for further insights on platforms like LinkedIn and the Cypher Learning website, providing ongoing support for those eager to harness AI's potential responsibly.
