AI and Employee-generated Learning: a more innovative way to scale corporate learning

Brandon Hall Group’s 2025 report on AI in corporate learning highlights AI’s growing role in workplace training. According to the report, 67% of organizations already use AI in learning. By 2025, 89% expect AI to have a high or moderate impact on L&D. This shift shows AI’s potential to improve Employee-Generated Learning (EGL) by making content creation faster and scaling learning across large organizations.

AI and EGL together also help solve a long-standing challenge: L&D teams struggle with an increasing backlog of training requests (refer to page 15 of the report). AI-powered EGL allows organizations to scale learning efficiently, shifting L&D’s role from managing training requests to designing employees to create high-quality learning content quickly.

1. AI speeds up content creation

Creating structured and engaging learning content takes time and effort, but AI-driven tools help employees create e-learning faster. AI outlines courses for a logical flow based on best practices, making it easier to get concepts started. When writing lessons, AI-powered assistants help employees explain concepts clearly with less effort, overcoming writer’s block.

AI models can also transform static documents into engaging e-learning courses. Most companies have knowledge dispersed throughout the organization in PDFs, Word files, and PowerPoint presentations. Organizations can accelerate the content creation by using an AI tool to convert these materials into courses.

According to Brandon Hall Group, 87% of organizations say automated content creation is important because AI can analyze skill gaps and generate personalized training at scale. By removing the barriers to content creation, AI makes it easier for employees to share knowledge without formal instructional design training. And when it comes to saving time and costs, AI-powered e-learning really delivers. This frees L&D teams from being the content bottleneck and lets them focus on strategic initiatives instead of chasing course requests.

2. AI improves content quality

EGL makes knowledge sharing inclusive, but maintaining quality can be challenging when employees create training content. AI ensures consistency by checking grammar, clarity, and readability. It can also detect inconsistencies and suggest improvements to align content with company policies and industry best practices.

Brandon Hall Group’s report says that 41% of organizations see significant efficiency gains from AI automation, so L&D teams can focus on strategy instead of manual content editing. AI-powered EGL makes L&D’s role from content creators to knowledge curators, distributing the workload across subject-matter experts instead of keeping it centralized.

3. AI improves localization in learning

EGL lets employees share their expertise, but AI ensures that knowledge reaches a global workforce. AI-powered translation makes training available in multiple languages, reducing barriers for international teams. AI can also help authors localize content by offering terminology and cultural reference examples, making learning more relevant to different regions. These capabilities enable organizations to provide high-quality training without requiring L&D to manually translate and adjust every course.

Despite the potential, only 28% of organizations achieve personalized learning at scale today, but AI-driven platforms are making mass customization possible. Localization is a key part of this shift. By automatically translating and adapting training, AI ensures that employees receive content in their preferred language and cultural context. This level of personalization allows organizations to scale learning globally while reducing the burden on L&D teams.

In closing

AI makes Employee-generated Learning faster and more scalable. As AI continues to evolve, its partnership with EGL will make workplace learning more accessible and efficient. Organizations that embrace AI-driven EGL will see faster learning cycles, higher engagement, and a more agile workforce.

Brandon Hall Group’s research clarifies that AI is no longer optional. It’s essential for companies that want to optimize learning and empower employees to share knowledge. AI and EGL remove L&D bottlenecks, ensuring that course creation keeps pace with business needs instead of slowing growth.
