LONDON, Aug. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Avado, a leader in CIPD training, is excited to announce a significant expansion in its use of AI technology to revolutionise delivery for CIPD courses and support services. This strategic enhancement is driven by Avado’s dedication to making their educational materials and learner support mechanisms as engaging and as efficient as possible through technology.

According to Avado’s internal research, a survey of 987 CIPD learners found that 1 in 2 (53%) said that real-time assessment feedback would be the most useful feature in their CIPD programme. Recognising the common concern among students regarding the potential to fail assignments, Avado introduces “QuickScore,” an innovative AI tool designed to provide instant, comprehensive feedback on CIPD assignments at any hour. QuickScore is a testament to Avado’s commitment to educational excellence, offering around-the-clock support on Avado’s award-winning virtual learning platform.
QuickScore: Enhancing Learning Through Advanced AI
QuickScore dramatically simplifies the learning process by demystifying CIPD assessment criteria, making it easier for learners to understand what is expected of them. This tool provides real-time, constructive feedback, allowing students to quickly gauge if they are on the right track, enhancing their learning efficiency. QuickScore facilitates immediate personalised guidance to address learners’ queries and concerns, significantly enhancing learning outcomes. It also directs learners to essential resources within Avado’s learning hub, facilitating a deeper understanding and better preparation for assessments.
The advantages of QuickScore are multifaceted. By reducing the need for extensive research and effort, QuickScore allows learners to concentrate on understanding core concepts, thereby saving time. Learners can build confidence and reduce anxiety around assignment completion through clear navigation of the right learning materials and knowledge for the assessment.
This builds on a suite of learner tools including the multilingual virtual assistant “Ava” introduced last year. Ava, which can communicate in almost every major language, is not merely a chatbot. It is a sophisticated virtual assistant, developed with Avado’s proprietary course material and the latest in generative AI technology. Ava is uniquely tailored to support learners, being deeply integrated with Avado’s curated knowledge base, individual progress tracking for learners, and leveraging the comprehensive resources available through their extensive online library of supporting CIPD course material. Over 5,000 unique learner queries are answered by Ava every month.
In addition to Ava and QuickScore for their enrolled learners, Avado has also added new AI tools for any HR professional to use. These tools include an HR policy proofer to ensure HR policies are up-to-date with current regulations and best practices, minimising compliance risks. A job description drafter helps HR professionals craft precise and effective job descriptions to attract the right candidates. Additionally, a Skills Planner assists L&D professionals in mapping out necessary skills and learning pathways to meet organisational goals effectively.
The recent introduction of Avado’s innovative AI tools complements the company’s newly launched bootcamp, “Elevating HR with AI.” This one-day programme, aimed at Human Resources and Learning & Development professionals, is designed to navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence within the HR field.
Jill Kayton, Product Director at Avado said, “Our mission at Avado is to transform learning into an empowering experience that drives real change. By integrating these advanced AI tools into our platform, we are enhancing the way professionals learn and succeed. QuickScore and our suite of AI tools for HR professionals exemplify our commitment to innovation and excellence in professional education.”
Avado encourages both current and prospective learners and HR professionals to explore these new AI capabilities and to sign up for updates on further innovations expected later this year.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Sept. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Global AI Summit (GAIN) in Riyadh concluded on a high, after the summit welcomed more than 30,000 delegates from across the globe over three days. The live stream of the summit, organized by the Saudi Data and AI Authority (SDAIA), received 3.7m views.

Building on the success of previous editions, GAIN 2024 featured more than 450 speakers from 100 countries, participating in 150 sessions. It also witnessed over 25 launches and announcements, and facilitated the signing of over 80 agreements and Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs).
The summit has grown exponentially since its inception in 2020. Its growing prominence reflects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s role in advancing AI capabilities as it positions itself as a global leader in this space.
The key output from the summit was the need for governments and policy makers to take global action to ensure that AI technology evolves for the good of humanity. Central to responsible evolution is an ethical framework and robust governance.
To support the advancement of AI ethics and governance, SDAIA announced the Riyadh Charter of Artificial Intelligence for the Islamic World in collaboration with the Islamic World Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (ICESCO). This promotes ethical AI grounded in Islamic values and principles, as well as sustainable development through international cooperation.
SDAIA has played a pivotal role in forging key collaborations to strengthen local and regional AI solutions, signing MoUs with Microsoft Arabia to develop Arabic language models, IBM for a Center of Excellence in Generative AI technologies, and NVIDIA to scale AI infrastructure across the Kingdom.
The summit also marked several major milestones. Alongside the unveiling of ALLaM, the world’s most advanced Arabic Language Model, other diverse initiatives such as the Global AI Community, the THAKAI Platform, and guidelines for addressing deepfake technology.
Furthermore, the launch of the Generative AI Center of Excellence by the Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO), the agreement to open an International Center for AI Research and Ethics (ICAIRE) as a UNESCO Category 2 Center, further underscored the impact of GAIN 2024.
The summit itself provided the platform for companies from all over the world to showcase the latest AI technologies and innovations, including AI generated avatars, AI generated artwork, and even Robotic bar staff serving beverages.
The summit closed with an inspirational speech from the Director of Saudi Arabia’s National Information Center, His Excellency Dr. Esam Alwagait, in which he thanked participants:
“Your candid perspectives have not only inspired us with the vision of what lies ahead, but have also grounded us in the realities we must face. Together, we have not only imagined the future of AI, but have also made it real by addressing the challenges and identifying the enablers needed to truly unlock its potential.”
He added:
“It has been incredibly inspiring to see the world come together here in Riyadh, united by momentum to make AI work for everyone. The commitment to collaborative action has been evident throughout the summit.” 
The success of GAIN 2024 ensures that the Kingdom’s AI infrastructure will be significantly strengthened and has cemented Saudi Arabia position at the center of global AI.
