The hype on AI replacing L&D teams is loud. The reality on the ground is quieter and more interesting.
AI is replacing the cost of generating first-draft program structure, draft rubric criteria, and draft phase descriptions. L&D teams still own the decisions about what to teach and how to grade.
Quota-aware AI capabilities, mentor-in-the-loop sign-off on AI suggestions, and audit trails on what the AI generated are the table-stakes for enterprise adoption. Without those, AI in L&D stays at the proof-of-concept stage.
