Humans and Gen AI: “It’s Not Me, It’s You…”
In “Humans and Gen AI: ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You…’” Mickey Clark, Co-Founder of RockMouse, reflects on our complicated love affair with generative AI at work. With wit and insight, he explores how humans are negotiating this strange new relationship—caught between dependence and distrust—and what it reveals about our need to stay human in an increasingly artificial world.
Learning, Leadership, and the Lure of Possibility
Learning’s next edge isn’t just smarter tools. It’s the blend of intelligence and imagination. Fresh from UK conversations, Craig Simon argues that every transformation is now a learning transformation: AI should reveal insight, not replace it; design should help people think, reflect, and adapt in partnership with technology. From Bowie’s playful “Verbasizer” to today’s generative systems, the point is the same: use tech to widen creativity. When we pair analytical power with empathy and curiosity, possibility expands — and progress stays deeply human.
Does RockMouse also do learning content? – Why AI is just one arrow in our quiver
“Do you also provide old-fashioned learning – e-learning content, blended programs, and support for our learning tech?”
The answer is simple: yes, we do.
The future of learning may be adaptive, but it still needs strong foundations
Yes, RockMouse delivers eLearning. And we build it the right way: solid instructional design, clean LMS/LRS/LXP integration, and engagement that respects time and attention. Then, where it adds real value, we layer adaptive AI: role-, risk- and context-aware prompts that lift performance. From bespoke modules and blended programs to onboarding and compliance, we ship fast without shortcuts and set you up for tomorrow’s AI, not just today’s rollout.
From One-Off Courses to Learning on Tap: How L&D Can Lead the AI Adoption Wave
AI is transforming the way organisations learn, work, and grow—but most are still stuck in pilot mode. In this leadership-focused article, Craig Simon explains why Learning & Development is uniquely positioned to turn AI disruption into opportunity. He outlines four high-impact shifts—continuous upskilling, empathetic change leadership, data literacy, and learning-in-the-flow-of-work—that help L&D teams lead AI adoption with confidence, humanity, and measurable ROI.
AI in Learning: The Privacy Dilemma
AI can personalise learning like never before—but at what cost to privacy? Craig Simon explores the balance between smart, data-driven learning and ethical responsibility. From what AI should know about employees to who owns learning data, this article reframes the conversation around trust, transparency, and human-first design. It’s not just about what AI can do—it’s about how respectfully it does it.
AI in Learning: The Privacy Dilemma
The biggest question in AI-driven learning isn’t what it can do—it’s what data it needs to do it.
Can AI Make Learning More Human?
What if technology could capture the warmth and attentiveness of your favourite teacher? Mickey Clark explores how AI learning coaches might do just that — blending empathy, memory, and adaptability to create genuinely human-centred learning experiences. Far from replacing real connection, AI can extend it, offering personalised, always-available support that feels conversational, contextual, and deeply human.
How to Dip a Toe into the AI Stream – Are You Ready?
AI isn’t coming — it’s here, and it’s transforming how we learn, work, and grow. In this practical guide, Mickey Clark outlines five ways to confidently step into the AI stream: from building digital literacy and experimenting with generative tools to collaborating with AI ethically and purposefully. Whether you’re an L&D professional or lifelong learner, this post shows how to stay adaptable, human, and ready for the future of learning.
What Should Our Children Study?
As AI rapidly reshapes the job market, parents everywhere are wondering: what careers will still exist by the time today’s children grow up? Mickey Clark explores the shifting ground between STEM, creativity, and AI, asking whether any field is truly “future-proof.” From coding to empathy, curiosity to adaptability, he offers a grounded take on what skills will matter most in an unpredictable future — and why raising curious, adaptable humans might be the safest bet of all.
How Might AI Technologies Change Employee-centric Learning Design?
AI is reshaping how we design learning around employees — not just what they learn, but how, when, and why. In this thoughtful piece, Mickey Clark explores three evolving dimensions of employee-centric design: targeting, personalisation, and psychology — and imagines how AI could finally make truly adaptive learning possible. From personalised learning assistants to context-aware engagement, this article challenges L&D teams to think beyond content delivery and towards human-centred, AI-enhanced learning ecosystems.
The Future of Learning: From Individuals to Teams and Organisations
In my experience the corporate learning landscape has traditionally been anchored in individual-focused courses, workshops, and training sessions
The Future Of Learning May Be Adaptive, But It Still Needs Strong Foundations
Every conversation about artificial intelligence (AI) in learning and development (L&D) carries both excitement and apprehension. But one fact remains clear: without strong learning foundations, AI will struggle to deliver on its promise
