Learning with AI, Learning through People: How Relational Intelligence Can Shape the Future of Workplace Learning

What happens to learning when everyone has access to an always-available AI coach, tutor, collaborator, and simulation partner?

Drawing on Isabelle Hau’s emerging framework of relational intelligence and new learning modalities being explored at OpenAI, this talk offers a way to think beyond the choice between “AI learning” and “human learning.”

We’ll examine what AI can uniquely enable, what people continue to learn best through others, and how L&D professionals can combine both while protecting the cognitive effort learning requires.

At a moment when much of the field is focused on automation, the session positions L&D professionals as agents of change who have a critical role in designing the future of learning.

Julia Dranov is a learning and development leader focused on team effectiveness and helping employees use AI to work more effectively. Currently at OpenAI, and previously at Robinhood, she is passionate about using technology to improve the employee experience and build resilient, high-performing teams.
