What happens when AI becomes more than just a tool—and starts acting like a teammate?
In this kickoff episode of our new Future Focus series, host Michael Thiel is joined by GP Strategies’ innovation leaders Cara Halter and Theodora Michaelidou to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the learning and development (L&D) landscape.
From boosting productivity to enabling scalable coaching and role-play simulations, this episode dives into real-world examples of AI in action—plus what’s coming next. You’ll hear how L&D teams are using AI to co-design content, streamline workflows, and even transcribe and organize sticky-note brainstorms in seconds.
In this episode:
- Why AI is more than a tool—it’s a “cybernetic teammate”
- How L&D teams are using AI for research, writing, and scenario design
- The rise of AI-powered coaching and role-play simulations
- What’s next: embedded learning, workflow integration, and AI governance
Whether you’re an L&D leader, instructional designer, or just curious about the future of work, this episode offers practical insights and a glimpse into what’s possible when AI meets talent transformation.
