The human society is built on the back of many different factors, but more importantly than the rest, it is built on the principle of improving at a consistent pace. We say this because the stated principle has already fetched the world some huge milestones, with technology appearing as a rather unique member of the group. The reason why technology’s credentials are so purposed around its skill-set, which was unprecedented enough to realize all the possibilities for us that we couldn’t have imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, a closer look should be able to reveal how the whole runner was also very much inspired by the way we applied those skills across a real world environment. The latter component was, in fact, what gave the creation a spectrum-wide presence and made it the ultimate centerpiece of every horizon. Now, having such a powerful tool run the show did expand our experience in many different directions, but even after reaching so far ahead, this prodigious concept called technology will somehow keep on delivering the right goods. The same has grown to become a lot more evident in recent times, and assuming one new HRM-themed development pans out just like we envision, it will only propel that trend towards greater heights over the near future and beyond.
Udemy, a leading online skills marketplace and learning platform, has officially released a series of generative AI-enabled offerings that are all designed to support personalized learning and enhanced skills development. Falling under a common umbrella called Udemy Intelligent Skills platform, these offerings are likely to include Udemy AI Learning Assistant, Udemy AI Skills Mapping, and several new enhancements, such as a gen AI-assisted Q&A. According to certain reports, the stated solutions will hit the shelves at various points during 2024, and once they do, they will help your business big time by facilitating the discovery, development, and validation of competitive skills crucial to accomplishing enterprise objectives. Talk about the whole solutions’ package on a slightly deeper level, we begin from Udemy AI Learning Assistant, who will bear the responsibility to help learners discover the right content among thousands of courses available on the platform. You see, leveraging learners’ search terms and desired objectives as captured in its chat with user, the assistant is able to deliver the most relevant learning content in every single case. More on the chats, learners can basically use natural language to lay out what they seek, and the assistant will use that as a goalpost to bring them the most suitable content. Not just while finding courses, the assistant also displays great personalization in its feedback to users. Meant to speed up learning, comprehension and subject mastery, this feedback includes concise responses, along with links to specific lectures for providing constructive guidance against a learner’s query. Apart from that, Udemy AI Learning Assistant can also summarize the entire course content for easier consumption and recollection to simplify learning. Anyway, the next brainchild coming into play here is a solution called Udemy AI Skills Mapping & Guidance, where you can conceive business and learning outcomes through content maps that go a long way when the agenda is to upskill a particular faction of people. In practice, the solution aids your case by reducing the effort and time needed for translating ill-defined needs into a list of required skills. Hence, under the promised arrangement, an admin can spell out their wish to develop expertise for their team in a particular domain, an input which the Udemy AI Skills Mapping & Guidance solution will process before serving them with right learning paths based on the desired end skill set and business outcome.
Then, we have the prospect of generative AI-powered Q&A. Here, the general idea is to let instructors more efficiently meet learners’ needs through the power of artificial intelligence. To do so, the solution brings to the fore a setup which enables you to receive faster responses under the questions you post in discussion forums, while simultaneously ensuring that the instructors do have the chance to properly vet the answers and maintain quality and alignment in the given educational materials. Extending the generative AI footprint across Udemy’s new platform is GenAI-powered thematic analysis for cohort learning. Available in the Udemy Business Leadership Academy, the stated thematic analysis banks on the technology in focus to summarize and highlight emerging themes from discussions and other group activities. Such a function, on its part, is expected to allow greater collaboration through seamless sharing of knowledge, and through the advances made in cross-functional understanding among admins and learners.
“We believe gen AI is radically revolutionizing the way we work and how professionals are developing new skills,” said Greg Brown, President and Chief Executive Officer at Udemy. “As the world transitions to a skills-based economy, our gen AI-powered Intelligent Skills Platform will transform personalized learning and how skills are acquired and verified. Udemy is committed to providing high-quality learning experiences, ensuring learners and organizations can easily identify and develop the skills they need today and in the future.”
Founded in 2010, Udemy’s meteoric rise, so far, stems largely from its knowhow in providing courses concerned with a multitude of fields so to help every individual kind achieve their goals. Providing over 210,000 different courses at the moment, the company has already served more than 67 million learners and a total of 15,000 organizations from across the world.

This list includes the likes of Samsung, Volkswagen, Cisco, AT&T, Citigroup, P&G, Hewlett Packard, Ericsson, Glassdoor and many more. On top of that, even the World Bank has trusted Udemy to handle the upskilling of its workforce.
“Personalized, practical and efficient learning solutions on the Udemy Intelligent Skills Platform will drive greater adoption and engagement for millions of professionals, helping learners find the right part of the right course for the learning outcome that best meets their needs,” said Prasad Raje, Chief Product Officer at Udemy. “Udemy AI Learning Assistant and AI Skills Mapping will enable learners and leaders within organizations to access the collective expertise of thousands of Udemy instructors to personalize learning on an entirely new level.
