AI will change the work. Leaders still decide what it’s for.
I’m Gabriele Barni, a global HR leader based in Basel who started out in IT. I write about what AI means for how organizations work: who owns the outcome, where the saved time should go, and how people keep learning the job. Short notes, a clear point of view, sources included. Outside the day job I build things with open-source tools, from Linux and Python projects to a Meshtastic mesh network around Basel.
Latest notes
-
AI won’t just take junior jobs. It can make juniors operate like pros.
AI gives every junior a patient bench of advisors and gives seniors leverage on their judgment. Whether that builds careers or deletes them is a design choice.
-
Abundance won’t distribute itself
Whatever happens to Musk’s 2036 prediction, how AI-driven abundance reaches people and work depends on decisions leaders make.
-
What the next HR service model should deliver
Design the next HR service model around the services employees need, one owner per journey and a 90-day pilot that earns the next decision.
-
Starting a career when AI can do the first draft
New entrants should use AI seriously and make their learning visible, while employers protect a real route to expertise.
