About this event

Explore why trust in AI remains low in L&D and what’s needed to close the gap,

from capabilities and quality concerns, to strategic and industry‑wide shifts.


During the event we will hear from Steven and have the opportunity to discuss:

  1. Trust in AI as L&D professionals.
  2. AI capabilities and how it is changing L&D.
  3. Barriers to adopting AI in L&D and the concerns of quality.
  4. How L&D may play a more strategic role in helping get the future workforce skilled and ready to adopt AI.
  5. An industry lens on what we’re seeing across organisations and L&D engagements.
