You shouldn't have to, but it makes a lot of sense to discuss your professional aspirations with the company who is currently a part your professional career. The only reason I wouldn't want my boss to know what my professional goals would be if I don't trust him/her to help me achieve them. If that trust isn't there then I'm already looking for a new job and this topic is one I make sure we discuss at some point if interviews get serious.
