¿Qué hacer si la inteligencia artificial amenaza el papel de los facilitadores en el futuro?

while AI may automate certain aspects of facilitation, there will always be a need for skilled human facilitators who can foster collaboration, creativity, and meaningful human connections. By adapting to technological changes and emphasizing their unique strengths, facilitators can continue to thrive in the future.

Integrate it to support what we do best. Don't see it as being in competition but as an assist to optimize, engage, create, plan.... it's a fantastic tool that can really bring your impact to the next level.

Use AI to help with facilitation. You can use Zoom Summary AI to summarize and give action items after a faciltation. When doing research for the next facilitation there is AI that will read articles and another to watch Youtube videos that will summarize the transcript and collect quotes if you want it to.

As stated previously "AI won't replace humans, but humans using AI will". So you need to be on top of this trend as it is fundamental and clients will expect it of us. Just like we teach our students, we need to become the student.

Use AI to enhance the skills that you have but also to help you do the things you would otherwise struggle with. It's a great way to stay relevant and up to date.

As subjective beings stitching collective objective experiences, we will always need the Human Element in facilitation. While AI might be helpful in assisting with rudimentary tasks or processing factual information, emotional intelligence is derived from our sensory inputs and is sum of our lived experiences and our interactions with other people and circumstances, and that cannot be replaced, nor should be attempted to. Relationships will always outlast, outlive, and supersede the tools and mediums we use to facilitate them, and the human element is quintessential.

As with many things in life, it will be critical to figure out where AI brings most value, which should allow more bandwidth for human competency where it is really needed. AI is a tool to be used wisely and effectively. Using the right tools efficiently is part of success. Realizing limitations of those tools and avoiding wasting time on questionable value activities will become key critical success factor. Based on my experience with adaptive learning technology, we will manage to do more and far better than we can currently envision, yet we should avoid the illusion of technology being able to solve all the issues or become the substitute for critical thinking and common sense.
