Tech Talk: Leading and Learning in the Age of AI: Keeping the Human Edge

Leading and Learning in the Age of AI: Keeping the Human Edge

Tuesday, December 2, from 10:30 to 11:30 am PST 

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping how we work, learn, and lead. What once felt like a distant innovation is now a daily partner in communication, analysis, and decision-making. As organizations navigate this new landscape, the challenge for leaders is not just to adapt but to stay authentically human in the process.

Drawing from current research and real-world practice, this session highlights four roles AI now plays in leadership development: personalization, practice, just-in-time enablement, and content companionship. Each one redefines how organizations grow talent and build stronger, more resilient cultures.

Key takeaways include:

Where AI supports growth and where human insight remains essential
The leadership capabilities needed to thrive in the AI era
Responsible integration of AI tools into coaching and learning
Practical ways to design human-in-the-loop systems that enhance judgment, empathy, and creativity
AI is not here to replace leaders. It is here to amplify what makes them human.
