Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how we communicate, collaborate, and make meaning. As AI becomes increasingly capable of imitating listening behaviors, important questions arise: What does authentic listening look like in an AI-shaped world? How can technology enhance—rather than diminish—human empathy and connection?
The International Listening Association’s five-part 2026 miniseries explores the evolving relationship between AI and listening across healthcare, workplaces, customer experience, group facilitation, and difficult conversations. Bringing together leading scholars and practitioners, this interactive series examines both the promise and the limitations of AI—highlighting ethical considerations such as bias, surveillance, and shifting “listening power.”
Participants will gain practical insights into how AI can streamline tasks and surface meaningful insights, while also engaging critically with the uniquely human capacities of empathy, discernment, and understanding that technology cannot replicate.
Join us as we explore how to shape a future where AI supports—and never replaces—the deeply human act of listening.
