AT&T embraced the AI revolution by incorporating an adapted version of Chat GPT, Ask AT&T, ultimately leading to the innovative idea for the Technology Development Program’s AI Learning & Problem Solving Challenge.
Embracing the Generative AI concepts, the Technology Development Program and the Corporate Systems & Talent Enablement organization, created a competition to learn and showcase their employees knowledge aimed to exhibit the potential of AT&T's AI tool, Ask AT&T. It focused on using Ask AT&T creatively to solve real-world work challenges.
The teams, including the winning team, PLEdge of Progress, brainstormed and presented their ideas, demonstrating the power of AI in problem-solving. PLEdge of Progress proposed to enhance AT&T’s Personal Learning Experience (PLE) website, our internal education platform, using Ask AT&T to address subjects of guidance, time, and motivation. Their solution included microlearning through engaging videos, gamification, and custom learning paths based on user data analysis.
