Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly becoming part of how learning and development (L&D) professionals research, plan, problem-solve and make decisions. But what does effective human-AI collaboration actually look like in the day-to-day work of L&D?

Join Training Industry for a candid conversation with L&D professionals who are actively incorporating AI into their workflows. Our panelists will share how they use AI to work through real challenges, where it saves them time, when human judgment still matters most and what they’ve learned as they’ve built AI into the way they work. You’ll hear practical examples of how panelists use Tia, Training Industry’s AI agent, to find trusted information, explore ideas and move their work forward. We’ll also discuss the bigger picture: how AI can complement human expertise, how access to trusted knowledge and peers can improve decision-making and what AI-enabled work could mean for the future of the L&D profession.

Key Takeaways:  

  • What human-AI collaboration looks like in real L&D workflows 
  • How L&D professionals are using AI to research, plan, problem solve and make decisions 
  • Where AI adds the most value and where human expertise remains essential 
  • Lessons learned from integrating AI into everyday work 
  • How trusted resources, AI and a professional community can work together to support better L&D decisions
