Abstract: The development of Generative AI exploded since ChatGPT was released to the public in November 2022. Generative AI was considered one of the fast-growing technologies that garnered popularity or notoriety almost overnight. It has caused concerns about fairness, accessibility, bias, privacy, and ethics. As we watch in awe at the volume and range of new applications arising everywhere, human resource development (HRD) professionals must examine this new technology and identify its potential impact on the field of HRD. In this focus session, we lead a conversation on how generative AI will bring changes to leadership competencies and, thus, leadership development.
