AI has moved from the margins of business strategy to its center. It has skyrocketed from being mentioned in less than 10% of corporate earnings calls a few years ago to appearing in nearly 100% today<\/a>. AI is creating foundational shifts in how we work, where we concentrate our efforts, and our organizational strategies for growth and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI is also changing how people learn<\/em> at work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This moment represents both urgency and opportunity for human development. For learning programs, traditional courses and static content libraries aren\u2019t cutting it anymore. They can\u2019t keep up with the speed at which needed skills evolve and they aren\u2019t personalized enough to support the kind of continual development that employees need to remain relevant and agile in their roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But AI can help make upskilling more dynamic, interactive, and therefore more effective. For example, this can look like: getting instant feedback, talking through high-stakes conversations, or practicing a presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a deeper dive into how human-AI interactions are changing learning, and how to make the most of these opportunities\u2014for both the organization and individual employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI is Expanding Into What Previously Were Human-Only Interactions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most significant developmental shifts is the move from human-to-human interactions to a mix of human-AI collaborations. Activities that once required peer or mentor relationships\u2014like coaching, role plays, and simulations\u2014are now being augmented by AI capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting enough regular feedback interactions, coaching sessions, and role plays was less feasible when it was just humans to humans. There are limited hours in the day, scheduling conflicts, and competing responsibilities at play. Managers and colleagues don\u2019t always have time to support a team member who wants to practice that important presentation for the third time, even if they need the extra practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the words of Nicole Helmer, Degreed\u2019s Chief Product Officer, during a recent webinar<\/a>: “These were human-only interactions. They’re now human and AI interactions, and there’s tremendous value to be unlocked by thinking about the scalability and the personalization that comes from those sorts of AI experiences.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These newer human-AI interactions are not replacing interpersonal connection, they are expanding opportunities to learn more effectively, develop skills faster, and as a result, they grow human potential better. Now, managers don\u2019t have to do all of the one-on-one coaching themselves, and can instead leverage AI to help them upskill their teams<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
