Kayvon Touran, CEO and Co-founder of Zal.ai, joins Ron J Stefanski on DisruptED to discuss the role of AI in workforce development and how businesses are approaching learning and development (L&D). As the job market undergoes a period of transformation due to rapid technological advancements and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), companies are reevaluating traditional education to employment pathways.
The use of AI in workforce development is becoming increasingly popular as businesses incorporate machine learning tools to streamline operations, leading to significant implications for workforce development. Zal.ai, co-founded by Touran with Stephen M. Kosslyn and Joseph Rousseau, provides a transparent and engaging method for employees to track and advance their career skills using AI technology.
Touran’s innovative work at Noodle helped scale the company significantly, demonstrating his ability to merge technology with user-centric solutions. Zal.ai focuses on using AI to enhance skill development measurement and verification, align organizational goals with individual career aspirations, and provide personalized career development tools that ultimately enhance employee growth and satisfaction.
As the job market continues to evolve, embracing AI-driven platforms like Zal.ai is becoming increasingly important for businesses looking to transform traditional L&D into dynamic and personalized career development tools that help employees stay ahead of the curve in an ever-changing job market.
