◼︎ Seminar Overview
In recent years, the evolution from "Generative AI" to autonomous "Agentic AI" has been rapidly accelerating in the field of human resource development. While AI utilization was the number one topic of interest at ATD-ICE 2025, the main theme of the upcoming ATD-ICE 2026, "Embrace Disruption. Direct The Future.," indicates an urgent need to transform this disruptive change from a threat into an opportunity to accelerate individual and organizational growth.
This seminar will fuse the latest AI trends with coaching expertise to unravel concrete measures for how humans can shine in the AI era. We will welcome Mr. Masashi Urayama, Representative Director of IP Innovations, Inc. and Chairman of the Board of UMU Technology Japan Co., Ltd., who is thoroughly familiar with the forefront of ATD, to delve deep into the "fusion of technology and genuine human-to-human dialogue."
In an era where AI autonomously handles tasks, how should we cultivate the uniquely human "human art" (empathy and trust), and how should we utilize AI as a partner to assist coaching? And how will personalized feedback provided by AI platforms support disruptive growth in the workplace? If you want to be among the first to grasp the direction of next-generation L&D and take away concrete measures for human resource and organizational development that expand individual and organizational potential, please join us.
