- Identify and test opportunities to use generative AI and other technologies to improve the quality, relevance, scalability, and accessibility of learning solutions, while applying responsible AI, privacy, security, and accessibility standards.
- Use AI confidently in your own work to support analysis, problem-solving, and content creation while maintaining strong judgment and quality standards.
Portfolio, Partnerships & Impact
- Translate learning strategies into a clear portfolio of initiatives, establishing priorities, milestones, responsibilities, risks, and measures of success.
