The Challenge

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how we work, learn, and connect, but can it truly grasp something as nuanced as culture?

Join a live debate between Country Navigator’s Chief Product Officer and Head of Learning Innovation as they go head-to-head on one of the most important questions of our time:

Can AI understand, and teach, culture?

The Debate

🤖 Pro-AI
Carla, our own AI culture coach, has been trained to help teams understand cultural differences and foster smarter global collaboration. Is this the beginning of culturally intelligent machines? Our CPO argues yes.

🧠 Human-Centric
Cultural understanding is built on lived experience, empathy, and intuition, qualities AI still lacks. Our Head of Learning Innovation says: not so fast.

The Outcome

Where AI excels and where it still needs more work when it comes to cultural intelligence.
The ethical, practical, and philosophical implications of relying on machines to teach humans about each other.
A behind-the-scenes look at Carla and how she's trained.
