Thousands of Flashlights: How is ai illuminating black corners
In my previous two articles in this series, we spy out the street result, that is, when we often look at something where appropriate (under the road) is rather (black pear). In the case of reading and development (L & D), it means estimate of the easiest metric measures in our control (time period, training in training, training). This final article will enhance it (PUN aimed at the black corners of the impact on learning, and indicate how one can think of AI as a reporing El & D Analytics.
Why is learning impact difficult to measure?
Compared with several studies and experiences, the recent ATD survey about the evaluation of assessment testing expressed the same obstacles and challenges [1]:
- Lack of time and resources
- Lack of access to data
- Lack of skills
- Lack of shopping and support from participants
Sounds normal? Not surprisingly IL & D lives in a well-lighter LMS location. In order to measure the impact of work, we should get out of the LMS bubble and work with a business, it, the talent, etc. We need more flashlights of black corners. So far, the stability because of lack of time and resources seems to be another major obstacles.
Technology will not delete all your obstacles. Culture, lack of clarity, broken processes, invisible objectives and obligations, lack of response, etc.
The power of bright light in many places at the same time, quickly, and discreetly, to see the image of the entire impact, which is an analysis picture, AI, and a promise of automation.
6 ways AI as a power multiplication can help with measuring and evaluation
1. Helping with plan
Priority, early, background, and ROI accountability is one of the examples where the defaults can give the initial guidance and how successful guides.
2. Helping with Design
Or before measuring and testing, you can use ai to assist you with the testing, for example. For the Designers, I built a bot of AI analyzing your assessment questions and provides details of detail, suggestions, and the answer in this process. These Assistants now come from agents for the ability to remove, not just lift, actions.
3. To change sufficient research on performance-based questions
Converting the satisfaction survey back to the facts that focus on producing effective data understands is another place where AI can help. Another AI service was trained in the Learning Testing Model (LTEM) and the formation of performance-based questions to help create more effective data [2].
4. Analyze the data to the degree and depth
AI at the L & D’s rate can help us collect and analyze data at a rate and depth. When a man’s analyst may draw corresponding with the various metric training details scattered three programs, AI-operated tool can remove those numbers within seconds and local patterns. For example, AI can track learning data from time to work later to identify links, as well as international research responses or product samples are open) to see how students work [3].
5. Lack of time and resources
Open text answers, actual interaction interviews, or small group conversations may be humiliated to summarize information, find patterns, to distinguish the lack of time and resources? Settled.

At the ATD Thnowchboy summit on February 2025, I didn’t share 3D adventure prototype where users were talking to people who were based on the best practices. AI characters are connected at the actual time, and they had their temporary and long-term memory. Share the truth about the world, but they also recognized each other. Finally, AI coach provided a detailed analysis of negotiations. All of this I build within the month. My prediction is that this type of synthetic work will be available soon at all the best learning platforms.
The 2025 industry report noticed that advanced AI enabled the most complex ways to link to learning and performance, a stronger AI analysis can be assessed such as understanding, business drivers of business ” [3]. This means that AI is not pervaded by Streetlight: It is actively seeking light of impact.
Analyzing analysis to provide effective discretion
In addition, AI can predict and explain. By using the guessing Analytics, AI may comply with the potential staff they may benefit from certain training (so l & d can intervene better intervention). It can also be helpful to see that the work magazine comes from that training can help, actually warn Il & D a need before the business is asking. In our own language, AI may not light the light when buttons, but they may predict the first look (“Determined by the previous patterns, usually dropped next to the park bench”).
And ultimately, privacy and good behavior cannot be ignored – bright light everywhere should not feel in labor tests or breaking trust. The goal is to light an impact, do not focus on privacy.
We have a technology really measure what we always care: a real moral change and business consequences in a visible way, real time. Think about Ai as a repository of your influence in a new country rather than a threat to your Old work.
A Bright Future: Important estimate in all the L & D roles
To exit the small circle of streetlight and requires that the customs affect the role in the L & D directory:
To the format of teaching
It means designing in mind. Reverse the models such as LTEM to ensure that your learning solutions include opportunities to show the app.
For L & D settings and facilitators
It is about emphasizing work for work and follow. You may need partnerships with the lines to collect the code of conduct, or set up training touppoints (such as refreshment or training stocks or training sects) that both are renewed and aroused information about development. Instead of declaring success when the class ends when the class ends, you will see your role to donate a new behavior, and can make light measures such as sample functions or ineffective.
To L & D leaders
This is about strategies and culture. Lit man accommodation by synchronizing to read the goals of the business. Encourage tools and resources (perhaps investing in LRS talent, or with the Analytics Talent, or AI platforms) Allows your team to measure important measurement. And it will come down from you to teach participants. Set expectations by managers that IL & D will report on business results, not just a function, and bring in that promise. Why not use the rectoral rub and prioritize the project applications that prioritize it when participants are willing to work together to measure the actual impact?
For tutorials or analysts or scientists
Your skills in analytics and a location with AI will help translate green data into logical issues. You will try different ways (A / B Training tests, predicting models, etc.) to really understand the constipation, not just connecting.
Conclusion: Ai as Police Multiplier
Finally, avoiding Streetlight Efficiency, the result of the L & D ratings means being brave to seek the truth, even if he is still Murky, difficult places. It means trading the faster comfort of simple metrics for the more accurate metric. Yes, it is difficult to measure how new software training affected production rather than how many people open the training video. But which one would you like to bring to your CEO? Which of the training tells you that training is successful?
