The Questions Every L&D Team Is Asking About AI-Powered Learning

AI can now draft a course in hours and coach employees in the flow of work. So why are so many L&D teams stuck? 

In this panel, GP Strategies® learning leaders Cara Halter, Tom Pizer, Peggy Durbin, and Ella Richardson debate the shifts they see across their enterprise client work. Learning is moving from discrete courses to continuous ecosystems, from one-size-fits-all content to personalized experiences, and from completion tracking to validated performance. Learners are changing too, moving from passive recipients to active contributors. 

The panelists will share where organizations are gaining ground, where they are stuck, and why the most effective AI-powered learning depends on people to govern it, from the designers accountable for quality to the learners shaping the experience. 

What You’ll Take Away from This AI-Powered Learning Panel 

  • A working view of the shifts reshaping enterprise learning and where your function sits on each 
  • Practical approaches for deciding when a learning challenge calls for AI, and how to get more from the capabilities already in your stack
