This post references Andy Schermuly's discussion of automation in the context of the LMS in eLearning Industry. Schermuly discusses automation in the State of Arizona, Choice Hotels International, Avis Budget Group. In the current article Cristian T. Duque addresses the lack of focus on automation in Moodle, and perhaps more significantly, points out that a lot of automation is form-driven. "During onboarding, learners go through exhaustive questionnaires. Dozens of fields to fill out, each of them informing future segmentation and delivery." This, to my mind, creates sources of error, and is very inefficient. So I think with Duque that there's a wider question to be asked about automation, and whether the automation process itself can be automated. But you don't need AI for a lot of this, just connected data.
