EXPOB108: AI Is Getting Better Every Day. Will an AI Coach Ensure That Your People Do Too?

November 4, 2026 3:45 pm - 4:15 pm
Depending on who you ask, AI will either end humanity or usher in a utopia where we work less and all medical issues are resolved. Neither is likely. What we do know is that AI can help people get better at their jobs right now, as long as we use it to strengthen our thinking rather than outsource it.
Join Patrick Erker, Partner and Associate Director at BCG U, and Deepak Sekar, Co-founder and CEO of Creatium, for a panel discussion moderated by Maddy Solomon, Partnerships Manager at Creatium.
Questions we'll discuss:
  • When does AI train our brains, and when does it do our thinking for us?
  • Coaching has mostly been reserved for the C-suite. What happens when every employee can have a coach?
  • What makes an AI coach different from a chatbot?
  • Is it worth it? How should organizations weigh the cost and the return?
  • What does all of this mean for L&D teams?

Plus, see how Maddy prepped for this very panel with an AI coach of her own. Come curious and ready for a real conversation.

During this session, you will learn:

  • How to tell whether the AI in your learning programs is building skills or replacing thinking
  • What to ask any vendor who calls their product an "AI coach"
  • Who gets coached in your organization today, and who could when cost stops deciding it
  • Where AI coaching fits alongside the training you already run
  • What your L&D team could take on when every employee has a coach of their own
