Evolving AI Trends in CE/CPD: Insights from the Alliance 2025 AI Survey

Session Description: In late 2023, the first-ever comprehensive survey of AI usage, attitudes, and perceptions in the broad and diverse Alliance CE/CPD community was conducted. At the 2024 Annual Meeting, the AI survey results and their implications were spotlighted in a 90-minute workshop session. In the year that has passed, the landscape of AI technologies has continued to evolve at breakneck speed.

To keep pace with the change, we have conducted a follow-up survey to gauge how AI use is evolving for you and your peers in the Alliance CE/CPD community, as well as changes in attitudes, concerns, and barriers to effective and responsible AI use. In this session, you will get a first look at the results from the latest survey, which is focused on the current state of AI adoption within the CE/CPD community. The results will highlight both progress and persistent challenges as reported by you and your peers in the Alliance.

Additionally, you will hear updates on what the Alliance has done to align with the results of the AI surveys and be responsive to its membership, including the formation of an Alliance AI Task Force, the development of guidance on the ethical and responsible use of AI in CE/CPD, and the launch of educational offerings designed to help improve awareness, knowledge, and competence with the use of AI in CE/CPD.

This session will provide not only the latest trends and data, but will also facilitate a discussion on strategies to address ethical, practical, and educational challenges associated with the integration of AI into CE/CPD. Participants will be provided with a take-home guide on actionable strategies for AI integration, including topics such as best practices in disclosure of aI use (for example, we disclose that AI was used to generate ideas for this session and to develop first-draft text for selected sections of this session description).
