AI Video Creation – Not a Complete Solution…Yet

AI has been heralded by many as a new dawn in materials creation. During the last year, I started exploring how much AI can help me to generate learning resources, specifically dialogues of role plays set in the healthcare environment. Videos I’ve developed in the past have been included in online courses with learning activities to be done before and afterwards. Other videos have been ‘stand-alone’ videos uploaded to my YouTube channel.

Initially, I viewed AI as a time saver, allowing me to make videos quicker than ever before, but I soon learned that AI was not an ‘out of the box’ tool. The language suggested was US-centric and not appropriate. The phrases suggested weren’t my Voice, either. They didn’t showcase particular communication skills I wanted to focus on either.

In this talk, I will show you an example of an AI-generated video and compare it with the video I wanted to make with the caveat that I am a beginner user of AI and AI still has a way to go to serve all our needs.
