Company using AI-created images in e-learning materials

Hey everyone,

I just found out that the company I work for is using AI-generated images in their online training courses. I’m not sure how I feel about this. Has anyone else experienced something similar? I’m wondering if there are any potential issues or benefits to using AI art in educational content.

What do you think about the quality of AI-generated images compared to traditional stock photos or custom illustrations? Are there any copyright concerns we should be aware of? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this topic.

Thanks in advance for your input!

Hey Owen_Galaxy, that’s a super interesting question! :thinking: I’ve been noticing more AI-generated images popping up everywhere lately, but I hadn’t thought about their use in e-learning materials. It’s really cool that your company is embracing new tech like that!

I’m kinda curious - have you noticed any differences in how engaging or effective the courses are with these AI images? I wonder if they feel more relatable or if they sometimes look a bit… off?

As for copyright stuff, that’s a great point to bring up. I’m no expert, but I’d guess it’s a bit of a gray area right now. Maybe your company has some kind of special license? It might be worth asking about if you’re concerned.

What do you think about the whole thing? Are you excited to see more AI being used in your work, or does it make you a bit nervous? I’d love to hear more about your experience with it!

hey, i’ve noticed AI pics are trending. they can be fun and cost-savin but sometimes they come off odd. my cousin’s startup uses them with mixed results. might do well for budget, but copyright rules are still hazy.

As someone who’s worked in e-learning development for over a decade, I can offer some insights on this topic. The use of AI-generated images in educational content is a growing trend, and it comes with both advantages and potential drawbacks.

On the positive side, AI-generated images can be cost-effective and provide a wider range of visual options, especially for niche topics. They can also be quickly customized to fit specific learning objectives. However, the quality can be inconsistent, and there’s a risk of encountering uncanny valley effects or subtle inaccuracies that might distract learners.

Regarding copyright, it’s crucial to understand the terms of use for the AI tool being used. Some platforms grant full commercial rights, while others have restrictions. Your company should have a clear policy on this to avoid legal issues.

In my experience, a mixed approach works best – using AI-generated images alongside traditional stock photos and custom illustrations. This allows for flexibility while maintaining quality control. It’s also important to have a review process to ensure the AI-generated content aligns with your learning objectives and brand standards.
