Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept it is actively reshaping how learning and talent development professionals design experiences, streamline workflows, and prepare leaders and organizations for what’s next.

This panel brings together forward-thinking practitioners who are using AI in real, practical ways—not just experimenting, but integrating tools, processes, and mindsets to enhance learning outcomes and business performance.

Through candid conversation and real-world examples, panelists will explore AI adoption across three critical levels:

• Self – How are you using AI day-to-day, and how did you build comfort and confidence with it?
• Others – How are you preparing learners, leaders, and teams to effectively use AI?
• Organization – How are you helping your organization build readiness, alignment, and responsible adoption?
