SALT
LAKE CITY, July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Pluralsight, the technology workforce development company,
today announced the availability of Iris, an AI assistant that
helps learners more easily discover content that's relevant to
their questions, learning objectives, and goals. Available now in
Pluralsight Skills, Iris provides a personalized learning
experience that encourages learner engagement, improves training
outcomes, and enables faster real-world application of new
technical skills.
Technology is evolving at such a rapid pace that keeping skills
up to date can feel overwhelming. According to Pluralsight's 2024
Tech Skills Report, 96% of technologists indicated that skill
gaps have increased their workload, underscoring the urgency for
organizations to address them without overloading their workforce -
or risk lagging behind in emerging technologies.
"Technology is moving at a breakneck pace, making it challenging
for individuals to keep skills up-to-date or know where to begin
when they want to learn something new," said Chris McClellen, Chief Product Officer at
Pluralsight. "Thanks to generative AI, we can now provide learners
with an intelligent, chat-based assistant that will guide them
along their personalized learning journey and accelerate the path
to technical proficiency."
Pluralsight's Iris acts as a personal guide to technical
expertise, offering recommendations from thousands of curated paths
and training courses to meet learners' unique needs. Iris also
helps learners quickly navigate Pluralsight's extensive
library of technology courses, hands-on labs, and skill assessments
to build and expand skills and technical capabilities as quickly as
possible.
"When integrated effectively, AI can improve and accelerate IT
learning initiatives," said IDC research director Gina Smith, Ph.D. "With the pace of technology
moving faster than ever before, the next wave of technology talent
must leverage AI, including AI assistants, to accelerate and
personalize the upskilling process, making them smarter,
faster."
While Iris personalizes and accelerates the learning process for
individuals, leaders of teams will find value in Iris as well. Over
time, Iris will help leaders develop talent at scale by curating
tailored learning paths that are aligned with an organization's
overall goals. Iris serves as a content curator by taking input on
what a workforce needs to learn to deliver projects effectively,
achieve business objectives, and close skills gaps.
