  Everyone Is Using AI in L&D. Few Are Using It Well.

  Jan 20, 202616 minS1

  <p>Everyone is using AI in L&D, but few are stopping to ask what it is doing to learning.</p><p>In this episode of STAI Tuned, Stella and Aiden examine AI as a double-edged force in modern training and development. As organisations rush to adopt AI tools in the name of efficiency, a deeper question is being overlooked: are these systems strengthening human capability, or quietly weakening it?</p><p>They explore how AI is currently being layered onto learning without rethinking design, cognitive effort, or retention, and why faster content and instant answers do not automatically translate...

  STAI Tuned S1 | E13: We Don’t Have a Skills Gap. We Have a Training Gap.

  Jul 21, 202520 minS1

  <p>Everyone’s talking about the skills gap. But what if the real problem is how we train?</p><p>In this episode of STAI Tuned, Stella and Aiden unpack two of the OECD’s latest papers on adult learning and individual learning accounts, laying bare the systemic disconnect between upskilling policies and the actual tools people have to learn, adapt, and grow.</p><p>They explore how current models are falling short, and how a shift toward learner-centred, AI-supported, and data-informed training is key to solving the talent challenge at scale. It’s not about content overload, it’s about de...

  STAI Tuned S1 | E11: From Bacteria to AI, Rethinking Cognition, Learning & Human Potential

  Jun 12, 202519 minS1

  <p>Episode 11: From Bacteria to AI, Rethinking Cognition, Learning & Human Potential</p><p>What if intelligence isn’t just human, and learning isn’t just for brains?</p><p>In this episode of STAI Tuned, Stella and Aiden explore Bacteria to AI: Human Futures with Our Nonhuman Symbionts by renowned theorist N. Katherine Hayles. From microbial memory to GPT-4, Hayles argues that cognition is everywhere, and that we’re entering a new era of “technosymbiosis” where learning is distributed across networks of humans, machines, and even biology.</p><p>But this isn’t science fiction. It’s a wake-up call for anyone des...

  STAI Tuned S1 | E10: Metacognition and the Future of Learning

  Jun 5, 202514 minS1

  <p>Episode 10: Metacognition and the Future of Learning</p><p>What if the most powerful learning upgrade isn’t content or AI, but teaching people how to think about their own thinking?</p><p>In this episode of STAI Tuned, Stella and Aiden explore metacognition: the science of self-awareness in learning. They unpack the research behind how learners monitor, regulate, and adapt their own strategies, and why this is one of the most overlooked drivers of long-term success in both corporate training and coaching.</p><p>Drawing on the latest studies and real learner insights, the episode shows how Smart-Training AI...
