AI can explain an AutoCAD command in seconds. It can walk someone through a Revit workflow, troubleshoot a Civil 3D problem, summarize documentation, and create step-by-step instructions on demand.

So, what are learners still willing to pay an instructor for?That’s a question every Autodesk Certified Instructor should be thinking about.

AI isn’t eliminating the need for great technical instructors, but it is changing what learners need from us. When answers to basic software questions are available instantly, simply demonstrating commands or repeating information learners can find online may no longer be enough.

In this live webinar, we’ll explore what this shift means for Autodesk Certified Instructors, Learning Partners, and technical educators.We’ll discuss:

• What AI already does surprisingly well when it comes to software learning and technical support
• Where AI still falls short, especially when context, judgment, troubleshooting, and real-world experience matter
• Why teaching commands is becoming less valuable than teaching workflows and problem-solving
• How learner expectations are changing as AI becomes part of everyday work
• Which human skills become more valuable in an AI-supported classroom
• How instructors can use AI as a teaching partner rather than treating it as competition
• What Autodesk instructors should be thinking about now to remain relevant as both the software and the way people learn continue to evolve

We’ll also tackle the uncomfortable question:If a learner can ask AI how to do something, why should they take your class?

The answer may have less to do with how much you know and more to do with what happens when you bring experience, context, coaching, critical thinking, and human connection to that knowledge.This isn’t a webinar about replacing instructors with AI, and it isn’t another tour of the latest AI tools. It’s a practical conversation about the changing role of the technical instructor and how we can make sure the value we bring to learners evolves along with the technology we teach.
