  "supportingContext": "The article synthesizes educational research and practitioner examples to argue that schools are outpacing corporations in practical AI adoption. It grounds its case in Bloom's 1984 Two Sigma research and Sal Khan's Khanmigo tutor, then draws parallels to workplace learning and development. Practitioners can apply three strategies: using AI to differentiate training materials by role and skill level, deploying AI-powered microlearning for continuous knowledge reinforcement, and training employees to seek AI feedback before managerial review. The author's core judgment is that organizations blocking AI tools repeat schools' failed cheating-panic approach, pushing usage underground rather than building capability. The piece is opinion-driven commentary rather than empirical research, so its business recommendations should be treated as practitioner insight.",
