Panel description
ChatGPT, Copilot, or Gemini seem omniscient. Multilingual. Adaptive. Empathetic. These "AI coaches" give the impression of knowing everything, including how to train us... in AI itself.
However, in the reality of organizations, developing AI skills across the company, including within HR teams, remains one of the main obstacles to the sustainable and responsible adoption of AI. Knowledge and use cases are evolving so rapidly that AI is putting pressure on training programs that are often costly, time-consuming to deploy, and difficult to keep up-to-date.
Key questions addressed
Is AI really the "best" coach for learning, or are we chasing a myth?
Will AI assistants absorb or replace traditional training programs?
How is agentic AI pushing back the boundaries of learning?
What training formats should be prioritized by 2026?
How can we preserve quality and human connection in AI-driven development paths?
Join this international panel of HR innovators, assessment experts, and learning leaders to compare their observations and predictions on both sides of the Atlantic. Discover how organizations are reinventing learning in the age of AI and what this means for your AI roadmap and the future of your HR teams.
