Most people want to learn, yet it is often harder than it should be — not because of motivation, but because of the obstacles learners routinely face. Limited time, uncertainty about where to begin, hesitation to ask questions, and the frustration of not immediately “getting it” create friction that traditional learning models rarely address. Over time, this struggle has simply been accepted as part of the process.

AI offers an opportunity to fundamentally improve the learning experience. When thoughtfully designed, it can provide private, judgment-free support, guide learners in moments of need, adapt to individual pace, and reinforce understanding over time. Rather than navigating challenges alone, individuals gain a partner that helps build confidence and capability.

In this session, Vince Han explores the deeply human side of learning and demonstrates how AI can help remove barriers that have quietly limited development for decades. When learning becomes easier and more effective, the payoff is significant — individuals grow faster, and organizations benefit from a workforce better prepared to meet the demands of a changing world.
