Examine where AI belongs in coaching across a continuum from human-led to AI-augmented, AI-enabled, and agentic approaches in the November SIOP Work Smart Series virtual workshop, Evaluating AI Coaching from Human to Agentic. The 3-hour live workshop starts at 11 a.m. ET November 5, 2026.
Participants will see two demonstrations of AI-augmented coaching tools and examine an enterprise deployment of an AI coach. Throughout the workshop, they will use an evaluative lens to judge evidence, data privacy and confidentiality, ethical risk, and organizational fit rather than relying on vendor claims.
After attending this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Describe at least three ways AI is reshaping how coaching is delivered, measured, and scaled.
- Differentiate human-led, AI-augmented, AI-enabled, and agentic coaching, and identify appropriate uses for each.
- Evaluate AI coaching tools against evidence, data privacy and confidentiality, ethical risk, and organizational fit, rather than relying on vendor claims.
- Analyze how AI-generated session feedback and practice analytics can strengthen coach development and leadership development programs.
- Apply lessons from an enterprise AI coaching deployment to design one AI-enabled coaching application, with explicit safeguards, for their own organization or practice.
- Identify open research questions where I-O psychology professionals can build the evidence base for AI coaching.
