Fosway Group publishes 2026 AI Market Assessment paper for Digital Learning
London, April 2026: Fosway Group is pleased to announce that the 2026 edition of the AI Market Assessment paper for Digital Learning is now available for EMEA's learning leaders to download and review. In 2026, the Fosway’s research programme will interrogate the corporate experience of AI deployment more deeply, while still providing updates into the vendor market too, resulting in an extended series of unique public and private deliverables.
AI is still the biggest story in the HR, talent and learning segments, with rapid growth in corporate interest and virtually every vendor having an AI-led roadmap. The market noise about AI is immense, but the story beneath that is opaque and uncertain; never has there been a greater need to provide an honest detailed market analysis of what is real and what is hype, as well as who is succeeding – and how.
This latest paper asks several critical follow up questions: How has the baseline level of AI innovation for a competitive learning vendor changed? What’s moving the vendor roadmaps? Vendors told us what was coming next – but has it? Some of this year’s key findings:
- Vendor AI delivery is accelerating rapidly - rising from 11% of features in 2025 to 26% in 2026.
- Content still dominates AI roadmaps, but it is increasingly not the whole story.
- There are a few front runners, but most vendors now have at least some AI investment and live delivery.
- Pre-AI evaluation models are no longer fit for this market – buyers need better evidence of where genuine value lies.
“AI remains a dominant story in digital learning in 2026. But consequently, the level of AI noise and hype in the market is unparalleled”, said David Wilson, CEO and Founder of Fosway Group. “Our goal is to cut through the market noise, exposing what corporates and vendors are really doing with AI, and to provide learning leaders with objective research, actionable insights and targeted advice to ensure their success with AI.”
