How will AI be incorporated into PM certifications and training?

Rami, I will have to disagree on this. AI has already had an impact in other industries/sectors, eroding the value of expertise. Writers, students, content creators, and others are now competing with individuals who have no background and are not producing their own work in the marketplace. There are enough people in the market who have no reservations about presenting something as their work which was done by someone else, now they can just use a program. There are already policies, laws, and regulations being considered on how to know if content is coming from an AI engine or not because of this issue. While I agree that the proper utilization of AI can complement the knowledge and expertise of PM professionals, I believe that it is far too easy to cross the line and let AI do all the work. On a different scale, this is much like math teachers not allowing students to use their phones or calculators during a test. You are expected to show how you get the answers. AI allows people to take the test with the calculator but still present the work as their own. My concern is that this will lead to people going into the field with the bare minimum knowledge, utilizing AI to make up for their lack, and present the work as an "expert" when it was created by AI. I will be interested to see how this impacts the industry over the next 3 to 5 years.

Chris, it's completely fine to disagree as we might not see eye to eye on everything. Let me clarify few things:

1) Those with no background in AI, have to educate themselves or they will be left behind be it individuals or organizations. In today's world, professional development is more of a necessity than an option.

2) In terms of posts, I do agree with you and I see lots of people putting full posts on LI for example and they are a copy and paste from platforms like ChatGPT. For me, if there is no reference and they claim it's their own work then this is not ethical. I guess for now, we have to carry ourselves with our values and ethics, but if some chose not to, then this will be short lived success. Sooner or later, they will be exposed.

Like you said, AI is still in it's infancy and a lot yet remain to be discovered so I am also curious to see how AI and its consequences will impact the different industries in both, the near and long terms futures.

AI is universe technology innovation concern to all industry. It necessary to be a Human Resource and Procurement concern when recruiting professional or experts. This should be done:-
1. In the application link, AI detection tool or system should be used
2. Submitting a written document is one thing but when it comes to the practical point of view and vivid experiences sharing, definitely a difference will be obvious.
3. I presume that so far AI has not explored an automated PM template/ tools where non professional could use to back him or her in the application
4. AI will take ages remain at the space as creativity and innovation is evolving endless

Chris,

I take a critic’s position on AI-generated content and tools as I recognize that it has as much opportunity to improve society as it can damage it. The direction it takes will hinge on education and transparency, which, from my barometer, is scarcely available.

I recognize that AI-generated content and tooling can supercharge plagiarists and bad actors, but my greater concern is the societal consequences of “Epistemic Erosion.” Specifically, the [1] dilution of knowledge and the [2] obfuscation of, or ability to determine truth.

Unless transparency-formed guard rails are “put into place,” this erosion will/could be gradual, dismissable, and controllable.

Hopefully, my perception of this risk is malformed. But even a chance of it being true justifies a critic’s voice.
