Humans vs. AI: Who Should Design and Deliver Presentations?
Artificial intelligence (AI) can produce stunning visuals faster than ever, offering cost savings and greater accessibility. But beneath the allure of speed and scale lies a critical question: Can AI-generated presentations truly captivate and persuade your audience, or do they risk feeling hollow, forgettable or even damaging to your brand?
Join Scott Provence, vice president of integrated learning services at ELB Learning, as he interviews Dr. Carmen Simon, chief science officer at Corporate Visions, in this exciting and timely session. Dr. Simon will share her latest neuroscience research on how human- and AI-designed presentations uniquely impact audience engagement, attention and memory.
In this session, you’ll learn:
- The surprising ways human and AI designs influence your audience’s brains.
- Practical, neuroscience-based strategies to create memorable, engaging content.
- A clear decision-making framework for when to use AI versus human design in your presentations.
