As a 25+ year L&D professional I can confident;y say that within 5 years AIs will be able to do 100% of our work.

Training and development are "hands-on" jobs, and each trainee has to be treated a little differently depending on their prior experience, knowledge, and abilities. For example, a forklift trainer. Robots may deliver parts to a line in a large automotive plant; however, they can never totally replace forklifts, tugs, and other mobile-powered equipment jobs in the near future.

too many variables at stake at each moment, counting also on creativity and intuition

The world will realise that relying on robots only does not lend to humanising and personalising the learning experience. The more high tech we go, the more high touch we need! Finally, through critical thinking and questioning, human to human interaction will enhance our learning and development. Learning is not a sequential one way process. It is very chaotic! and another human will help us meander through life and learning.

The "human" component will remain key in providing a personalized learning experience for learners going forward.

I believe that HR L&D specialists, as well as L&D managers, are on the safe side as there are a lot of activities L&D are doing for PEOPLE development such as capabilities gaps analysis which can't be done by existing robots or chatbots. Robots can help people to source and make preliminary analysis but not interpretations which should be based not only on data but on intuition and common sense as well.

By "existing robots or chatbots." Within 5 years they will develop to the point where the AI will outperform 95% of the instructional designers in this industry.

Agreed. Jobs like Marketing, PR, HR and corporate training will probably have the ability to be automated to a certain degree in the future, but the essentials of the jobs themselves is connecting with people, knowing what they want, protecting the company from lawsuits and so on. Other humans are not gonna trust a robot marketing him something or a entry level position being solely thought by a machine. When that kind of work is fully automated we will have bigger fish to fry regarding our worries.
