What does it take to turn AI curiosity into real workforce capability?

Iuliia Algasova, VP of Skills Development at BlackRock, brings her perspectives on how organizations can move beyond AI awareness toward meaningful capability development at scale. Drawing from work in AI-enabled practice, role-based learning, and skill architecture, she will explore the realities of helping employees build confidence, adapt behaviors, and apply emerging technologies effectively in their day-to-day work. In this structured peer dialogue, you’ll engage alongside fellow senior learning leaders to examine the strategic, operational, and human challenges that come with integrating AI into workforce development. Through facilitated discussion and shared insight, the session will surface different approaches to designing practice-rich learning environments, aligning capability development to business priorities, and redefining how learning functions support performance in an AI-driven organization.
