An AI trends lecture in English at 11 p.m.: a review. A remote session for employees in the Americas, live. From 11 p.m. to midnight, at an unusual hour, it was a truly meaningful and fresh experience.
I gave a talk in English on 'AI trends' for LX Pantos’s employees in the Americas. In 14 years of teaching, I’ve given countless lectures, but this was my first live, remote English lecture at such a late hour.
The appeal of global sessions across time zones: working with local teams overseas is always interesting.
Teaching late at night to fit the time zones felt very much like working in a global business.
Since the lecture was in English, I prepared thoroughly, and the participants’ enthusiastic response soon put my nerves at ease.
Live demos on multiple devices: the core of this session was hands-on practice with AI tools.
Laptops, desktops, tablets and smartphones: we used them all!
Through live demos, I showed how one topic works across different devices.
Device examples: Laptop – writing AI prompts and real-time translation. Desktop – introduction to AI video editing tools. Tablet – trying generative AI through drawing. Smartphone – practice with voice-based AI chatbots. A short but substantial format boosts engagement. With local employees’ working hours in mind, we condensed the session to about 30–40 minutes.
So I kept the session tightly focused and made the key points clear.
To share as many insights as possible in a short time, I covered everything from where AI trends stand today to workplace use cases and what comes next.
Teaching in English: more excitement than nerves. Teaching in English always brings some nerves, but that night, even more than that
excitement won out.
Years of teaching experience paid off, and communicating with participants who are familiar with global corporate culture helped keep the energy going naturally.
A small hiccup during the session: while I was demoing AI, the tablet screen share lagged briefly.
But thinking on your feet is part of live teaching!
I switched to another device right away and kept going, keeping the room engaged.
Fixing a technical issue like the ones that can happen at work actually went over well.
Building the session together: I believe a lecture should be a two-way exchange, not a one-way delivery.
With the participants’ questions, reactions, and even laughter all coming together, this special lecture was more than ever
it came to a warm close.
Ending the day, inspired all over again A day that ran from 11 p.m. to midnight.
But more than fatigue,
It was deeply rewarding.
For some it was the end of the day, for others the start of the morning, but for that hour everyone was connected by one shared topic: 'AI.'
Good morning!
Wishing everyone an inspiring day.
Now I’ll call it a day, a little late.
