What if every student—and every professional—had their own AI tutor or coach?
OpenAI’s Shipmas has been buzzing with feature-packed updates, and one that truly stood out to me? ChatGPT’s Voice Mode is now paired with Vision.
Last week, I ran a training session for an education group, and we had an electric discussion imagining this future. Sam Altman once said AI could make personalized, adaptive, and always available coaches a reality. Now, his AI can combine text, voice, and visual understanding, making that vision feel closer than ever.
I also spoke with Alex Osterwalder (inventor of the business model canvas), who sees the same potential in companies. L&D could transform dramatically as these capabilities evolve over the next few years.
The real question: How do we get there—and how should we prepare?
