Abstract
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into organizational learning and development (L&D) marks a transformative shift in corporate training paradigms, offering unprecedented opportunities for personalized learning, efficiency enhancement, and innovative skill acquisition. This review article commences with a brief introduction to the burgeoning role of AI in modern L&D strategies, setting the stage for a comprehensive analysis of its impact. The review section delves into how AI technologies are reshaping learning experiences to be more tailored and engaging, streamlining training programs for optimal delivery, and fostering the development of both hard and soft skills crucial for the contemporary workforce. Drawing from a broad spectrum of academic literature, case studies, and empirical research, the results highlight the multifaceted benefits of AI integration, including improved learning outcomes, increased operational efficiency, and a significant return on investment in training initiatives. Amidst these advancements, the article also considers the challenges and ethical considerations surrounding AI applications in L&D. Concluding with recommendations, the article provides actionable insights for stakeholders, including organizational leaders, L&D professionals, and policymakers, on leveraging AI to enhance learning frameworks, address potential hurdles, and ultimately drive organizational growth and innovation.
