The era of incremental change in learning & development (L&D) is over. Artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t just a tool; it’s the fundamental shift that will redefine how we learn, how we teach, and ultimately, how businesses thrive or falter.

During the past year, L&D leaders have learned how to leverage the power of AI to enhance their own productivity and effectiveness, adding value by automating some tasks and streamlining others. In this white paper, Training magazine’s Training Hall of Fame members evaluate the future of AI within the context of L&D to determine how the continuing deployment and evolution of AI may affect L&D programs, capabilities, and learners. They explore evolving applications, AI-empowered tools, challenges, managing change, reskilling for tomorrow, new skills needed inside L&D, measuring AI utilization’s effectiveness and ROI, and L&D’s aspirations to unlock the full potential of AI.

Ultimately, it will come down to training employees to not just use AI but rather collaborate with it, hopefully leading to a new era of productivity and potential.
