How chunkx supports companies in successfully implementing the EU AI Act

The EU AI Act regulates the safe and responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI). From February 2, 2025, there will also be an obligation to prove that employees have sufficient AI skills. Companies are under pressure to act – and this is precisely where the hyper-personalized microlearning platform chunkx comes in. It offers an effective, scalable solution to meet the requirements of the regulation, save time and costs and ensure competitiveness at the same time.

The core requirements of the EU AI Act

The EU AI Act requires companies to ensure that employees have technical, ethical, legal and safety-related knowledge in dealing with AI – tailored to the risk class of the AI systems used. Without this proof, there is a risk of penalties of up to 35 million euros or 7% of annual global turnover.

From adaptive content selection to adaptive content creation: the evolution of personalized learning

In the rapidly evolving world of digital education, adaptive learning has become more than just a buzzword – it represents a fundamental shift in the way knowledge is delivered. But what exactly is behind this term, and how are we at chunkx revolutionizing this approach? Let’s dive into the world of adaptive learning and its evolution into hyper-personalized knowledge transfer.

What does adaptive learning really mean?

Adaptive learning refers to learning approaches that adapt to the individual needs of learners. Traditionally, it means that learning content is presented in a different order or depth based on user behavior, preferences or performance. But is this sufficient if the pool of available content is not suitable enough? Or if suitable content is embedded in long videos and you don’t want to present learners with 20 minutes of video when only 3 minutes are actually relevant? The requirements of companies and the technical possibilities of start-ups such as chunkx call for a new understanding of adaptive learning.

The first wave: Adaptive content selection

Most adaptive learning solutions available on the market are based on the principle of adaptive content selection. This involves:

Existing learning materials presented in different order
Learning paths adapted based on user behavior
Content selected from a fixed catalog according to the user’s performance

This approach is similar to an experienced waiter recommending dishes from an existing menu – useful, but limited by the existing offer.

The revolution: Adaptive content creation

At chunkx, we have gone a decisive step further and made the transition from mere adaptive content selection to adaptive content creation. Our AI-powered system:

Creates customized learning content individually for each user
Adjusts content in real time based on direct feedback
Develops with each user and continuously optimizes the learning materials

To stay with our gastronomy example: We are not the waiter with the existing menu – we are the personal chef who prepares each meal specifically according to your preferences and needs.

Hyper-personalized learning in practice

What does this look like in practice? Imagine an employee learning a new concept:

Immediate adaptation: The employee finds an explanation too complex and asks: “Please explain more simply”. Instead of waiting for a course update, our system immediately generates a simplified version.
Context-related examples: The request “An example from my industry, please” leads directly to the creation of relevant, industry-specific examples.
Continuous optimization: The more the user interacts with the system, the better the AI understands their preferences and automatically optimizes future content.

The measurable benefits of hyper-personalized learning

Companies that rely on adaptive content creation benefit from:

Higher employee engagement: motivation increases thanks to relevant, customized content
Accelerated learning progress: no time is wasted on irrelevant content
Better knowledge retention: personalized content is better understood and retained
Scalable individualization: Each employee receives individual learning material without increased resource expenditure

The future of adaptive learning

The transition from adaptive content selection to adaptive content creation marks a paradigm shift in digital education. At chunkx, we are convinced that the future of learning does not lie in the management of existing content, but in the dynamic creation of customized learning materials in real time.

In a working world that is increasingly characterized by specialization and rapid development, the ability to tailor knowledge precisely to the needs of the individual is becoming a decisive competitive advantage.

Employee Retention: The increasing Impact of Development and Belonging

Navigating the modern workforce is not just a journey, but a strategic dance with emerging trends. Continuous development and a focus on skills aligned with job roles become not just metrics but sparks igniting job satisfaction and retention.

Studies highlight the importance of ongoing development, not just for individuals but also for companies. Without it, transformation becomes impossible. People need to be guided, trained, and, above all, motivated! So, what should be the priorities for companies? What should we focus on?

Five employee priorities for sustainable companies:

#1 Opportunities for Learning and Development:

Integrate personalized learning pathways, ensuring employees have continuous opportunities for skill enhancement and professional growth.

#2 Sense of Belonging

Foster a supportive work environment that promotes a sense of belonging, encourages collaboration, and creates a community where employees feel valued.

#3 Alignment with Company Values

Incorporate organizational values into learning programs, reinforcing a sense of purpose and alignment with the company’s overarching mission.

#4 Focus on Quality of Life

Recognize the importance of work-life balance and well-being in corporate learning initiatives, allowing employees to prioritize both professional and personal development.

#5 Promotion of Collaboration

Develop learning experiences that encourage collaboration and teamwork, recognizing the significance of collective intelligence in achieving organizational goal.

The paradigm shift in HR priorities

The post-pandemic era isn’t just a chapter; it’s a spotlight on the critical importance of internal agility. Companies transitioning to competency-based planning seize a unique chance to foster a learning culture, align with trends like interdisciplinary learning, enhance recruitment, embrace personnel development, and ride the wave of the megatrend—promoting internal mobility.

Why a pivotal moment in organizational evolution is needed

Skill alignment and job satisfaction:
Globally, employees who find that their skills are underutilized are 10 times more likely to seek new opportunities. *
Unstoppable shift in priorities: If we look at the factors that are most important to employees worldwide “Opportunities for training and development” has risen from ninth to first place in just two years.*
Supporting instead of replacing: Almost 65% of HR developers in Europe agree that retraining employees is more cost-effective than hiring new employees.*

The popularity of learning initiatives brings challenges, a storm of overwhelming workloads in 2023. Increased demands year over year are the winds of change. To overcome this, companies must align learning with business skills, focusing on identifying gaps rather than mere completion rates.

In the theater of corporate learning, the spotlight is on you. Proactive measures are the script, addressing skill misalignment, investing in reskilling, and embracing internal mobility. Seize the opportunity now; it’s not just a chance—it’s a necessity for sustained success. Can you hear the applause of triumph in the evolving workplace learning landscape? Act now; the stage is yours!

Continuous Learning: Key Factor to Successful Business Transformations

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, organizations are constantly challenged to adapt and transform to stay competitive.
One critical factor that separates successful transformations from unsuccessful ones is the emphasis on continuous learning. By building a sustainable learning culture, businesses can drastically increase their transformation readiness, enhance their transformation efforts, and better overall performance. This article explores the importance of continuous learning in driving successful business transformations.

“The speed of adapting to change is of the essence. The faster the enterprise moves, the easier it is to turn a business challenge into a new business opportunity.”

Karl-Heinz Streibich, Chairman and CEO, Software AG

Building a Culture of Continuous Learning

A continuous learning culture acts as a catalyst for successful business transformations. A study by the Association for Talent Development (ATD) shows that companies that place a high priority on learning and employee development experience higher employee engagement, productivity, retention and overall performance.

To embark on a successful transformation journey, organizations should prioritize learning and development as an integral part of their change efforts. It entails creating an environment that promotes knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and experimentation. By fostering such an environment where employees have easy access to training and development programs, organizations empower their workforce to acquire new skills, stay up-to-date with industry trends, and adapt proactively to changing circumstances.

In a learning culture, rigid hierarchical structures give way to collaborative, learning-oriented networks, encouraging innovation and agility. Individuals are encouraged to learn from their successes and failures, paving the way for continuous improvement. A positive learning culture not only equips individuals with the necessary skills for transformation but also nurtures a mindset that embraces innovation, resilience, and collaboration.

Spaced Learning: Maximizing Impact Learning On-the-Job and in Small Nuggets

During business transitions, the integration of learning activities into daily routines is crucial for effective knowledge acquisition. While larger courses and trainings are very valuable, they should be complemented with on-the-job learning experiences. Encouraging employees to learn in small nuggets during their regular work activities allows for more precise skill analytics, better application of newly acquired knowledge, and flattens out the forgetting curve.

This approach is called Spaced Repetition Learning or short: Spaced Learning. It helps to reinforce knowledge retention and enhances the impact of learning activities. By spacing out learning experiences, individuals can revisit and reinforce previously learned concepts, preventing information overload, and ensuring long-term retention. Especially in the context of constantly changing environments, spaced learning on-the-job becomes increasingly important to keep up with the pace of the transitions.

Transformation Readiness and Continuous Learning – or: Changes are a normal flow of things

Often, individuals are resistant to changes as they push us beyond our comfort zone. We may perceive a loss of control over significant aspects of our professional lives due to all the uncertainties. Changes introduce additional work as we must allocate extra time and effort to devise and experiment with novel ideas while managing the ripple effects that often manifest in unforeseen ways. We are not always adequately prepared for changes, leading to doubts about possessing the necessary knowledge and skills to navigate the new reality.

"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving".

Albert Einstein

Transformation readiness is the organization’s ability to embrace and drive change successfully. A continuous learning culture and employees who adopt lifelong learning are instrumental in developing transformation readiness. By prioritizing learning and development initiatives and by giving employees the tools at hand to integrate learning into everyday life, organizations send a powerful message that continuous learning is valued and encouraged. This fosters an environment where employees feel empowered to explore new ideas and adapt to emerging trends. Lifelong learning and readiness for change are key factors of personal success in a world of digital transformation.

Unlock potential

In the face of rapid technological advancements and ever-changing market dynamics, continuous learning is no longer a choice but a prerequisite for successful business transformations. By building a learning culture, integrating learning into daily routines, leveraging spaced learning techniques, and embracing lifelong learners, organizations can enhance their ability to adapt, innovate, and thrive in today’s competitive landscape.

Continuous learning empowers employees, promotes agility, and enables organizations to stay ahead of the curve. Embracing a culture of continuous learning is the key to unlocking successful business transformations and achieving sustainable success in the long run.
