In May I argued that AI is a work tool, not a perk. Three months and a lot of client work later, the gap between the people who have it and the people who don't is not closing. It's growing, and most organizations are fuelling it without meaning to.In this episode:- Why well-intentioned license decisions end up splitting your workforce in two- The two cohorts living side by side in the same organization, one running fast with their own Claude and ChatGPT setups, one barely started- The mechanism behind it, licenses follow whoever is comfortable asking- Why one client is taking AI access to the union negotiating table, and why I think they're right- Equal opportunity has to include the tools, not just the loud and vocal- The real missing piece, nobody has defined why AI matters for this organization- Why leaders can't be strategic about AI without being practical with it firstLinks mentioned:- AI Is a Work Tool, Not a Perk → https://www.fullstackhr.io/p/ai-is-a-work-tool-not-a-perk

First episode of the new interview series with people who do stuff with AI, not people who talk about AI. Joe Shahmoradian runs talent acquisition for EMEA at Morningstar, and everything in this episode is running in his team today.

In this episode:

• How his team cut post-call admin by 75% with AI transcription on screening calls, and why the first tool got killed
• Amira, the AI teammate that works like a journalist and turned five-day market intelligence reports into 90-minute video briefings
• The AI clone Joe built before paternity leave, and what it did when he prompted it maliciously at 1 AM
• Morningstar's playbook for adoption at scale, an AI Academy, a champions community that grew from 5 to nearly 200, and an idea hub with real ownership
• What Joe would do in his first 90 days at a company starting from zero, and why governance comes before agents
• Why the workforce of the future is humans and agents as teammates, and why the discourse needs more boldness

An impromptu between-episodes take on the AI bubble panic. Johannes cuts through the headlines about rising token costs, Microsoft cutting Claude Code, and Uber's COO questioning AI ROI, and explains what's signal and what's noise.

In this episode:- Why nobody can actually call a bubble, and what the market is and isn't telling us right now- The arguments for a bubble (circular money between NVIDIA and OpenAI) versus against it (Anthropic's first profitable quarter)- Why "rising token costs" is a mislabel. Per-token prices are flat or lower, total spend is what's climbing- How Moore's Law underpins the whole thing: more powerful models for the same or lower price- The full context on Uber blowing its AI budget, and why the COO is far more nuanced than the headlines suggest- Why early subsidize-then-correct cycles are normal, same as railroads, electricity, and the internet- How to do the token economics yourself: if an agent solves a problem cheaper than a human at equal quality, you have your answer- Why the model companies are targeting a ~$58 trillion global labor market, and what that means for their valuations

Links mentioned:- Rapid Response podcast, Andrew Macdonald (Uber COO) interview - Fortune coverage of the Uber AI budget story

The short answer is yes.

But yes deserves an explanation. In this episode I make the case for why HR needs to get technically curious right now, and why that has nothing to do with becoming a programmer.

We cover what's worth understanding (APIs, databases, MCP servers, and why they matter for HR), why playing around with tools like Claude Code, Codex, Lovable and Replit makes you a sharper buyer of HR tech, and how one curious person on a team can shift an entire organization. It might not be the CHRO. It might be the HR assistant fresh out of university.

I share what it felt like walking into Spotify with close to zero backend knowledge, why the threshold for connecting systems has dropped, and why "I'm not the technical type" no longer holds as an excuse.

This is where the world is heading. You can ignore it, or you can skate to where the puck is going.

In this episode, Johannes Sundlo explores a growing issue inside organizations adopting AI: the creation of an “A and B team.”

Some employees get access to AI tools, licenses, education, and experimentation opportunities. Others are left behind. Not because of role or capability, but because of interest, visibility, or who happened to push hardest internally.

Johannes argues that this is becoming one of the most overlooked leadership and employer branding challenges in AI adoption.

He discusses:

• Why selective AI access creates organizational inequality
• The hidden cultural risks of AI “elite groups”
• Why the cost argument often falls apart under scrutiny
• The chicken-and-egg problem of AI adoption
• Shadow AI and the risks of unsupported tools
• Why HR cannot leave this entirely to IT
• How AI access is increasingly becoming a workplace infrastructure question, not an innovation experiment

This is not a conversation about hype or future speculation. It’s about what happens inside organizations right now when some employees are allowed to work with modern tools while others are expected to continue without them.

A practical reflection on leadership, fairness, AI adoption, and the future of work.

Block just fired 4,000 people in a single day. Their CEO Jack Dorsey said it was because of AI. The stock jumped 20%. And the internet lost its mind.

Half the people say this is pure hype. The other half say AI is coming for all of us. I think both sides are wrong, and I have thoughts.

In this video I go through what actually happened at Block, weigh the evidence for and against the AI narrative, talk about why Wall Street loved this so much, and share what I think it means for leaders, employees, and anyone trying to figure out where AI and jobs are actually heading. I also take on the myth that AI skills will protect you from layoffs.

What if an AI manager could do a better job than your current boss? Johannes explores this deliberately provocative question – not to argue that we should replace managers with AI, but to challenge our assumptions about what management is actually for.

From the industrial revolution roots of the manager role to DoorDash's algorithmic task distribution, he examines whether the core function of "making sure work gets done" might be ripe for reinvention.

If AI can handle delegation, and some managers already lack the empathy we claim only humans possess, what should human leaders actually focus on?

A call to start the conversation about leadership's future before it's decided for us.

What happens when a four-week project takes 45 minutes? That's what I experienced over Christmas with Claude Code. In this episode, I share what I built, why this matters beyond coding, and the hard questions organizations need to start asking. Because this isn't slowing down.

Transforming Work with AI: Insights from EY and PWC SurveysIn this episode, Johannes Sundlo discusses the limited transformative use of AI in workplaces, referencing new surveys from EY and PWC. Despite high adoption rates for basic AI tasks, only a small percentage of employees leverage AI for advanced purposes.

Sundlo emphasizes the need for better training, organizational alignment, and inclusive AI programs to bridge capability gaps and enhance productivity.

The episode also explores the psychological challenges of AI learning and the potential for AI to replace HR roles, urging organizations to focus on strategic AI adoption and workforce development.00:00 Introduction and Overview00:49 EY Work Reimagined Survey Insights03:05 PWC Global Workforce Survey Findings06:54 Challenges in AI Learning and Adoption08:57 Future of HR in the AI Era11:04 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

ROI Reality Check - IBM study shows 66% of companies already see significant AI productivity gains, with 41% expecting ROI within a year. But the gap between large enterprises and SMEs is widening fast.

Ernst & Young's Smart Move - They've built a tool that shows employees exactly how their jobs are changing, what'll be automated, and what skills they need next. Over 200,000 employees have engaged with it.

Citigroup's Scale - 1 million automated code reviews, 7 million AI tool uses, freeing up 100,000 developer hours weekly. This is what productivity at scale actually looks like.The Recruiting Arms Race - 50% of hiring managers use AI to screen candidates. 70% of candidates use AI to write applications and prep for interviews. It's like two AIs playing chess, neither realizing it.

Chipotle's Results - Used conversational AI for 20,000 seasonal hires. Application completion jumped from 50% to 85%, time-to-hire dropped from 12 days to 4.The Big Questions:How do we redesign roles when AI does significant work?What does "knowledge" even mean in the AI era?Do we need to completely rethink the recruitment funnel?The pattern? Companies treating AI as a campaign fail. Those treating it as an operating model win. This isn't about buying licenses and booking training sessions—it's about fundamentally redesigning how work gets done.

This week's news highlights the rapid acceleration of white-collar automation, posing significant challenges for the workforce as training programs lag behind in preparing employees for an ai-driven future. The latest developments in ai adoption are transforming industries at an unprecedented pace, with companies like OpenAI making substantial investments, such as a $1.4 trillion bet on artificial general intelligence. As ai training becomes increasingly crucial for professionals to remain relevant, it is essential to address the gap between the pace of automation and the availability of effective training programs. In this video, we will delve into the implications of these trends and explore the potential consequences for the job market and the future of work. With ai adoption on the rise, it is more important than ever to prioritize ai training and ensure that the workforce is equipped to thrive in an automated economy.

This weeks article argues that while curiosity remains important, it is insufficient on its own for effective leadership and organizational success in the AI era. I'm your host, Johannes Sundlo, highlights three essential traits leaders must combine:

1. Curiosity – A willingness to explore, ask questions, and learn about AI and new possibilities.

2. Business Understanding – A deep, practical awareness of what drives their organization, whether in sales, customers, or operations.

   3. Action/Experimentation – The ability and willingness to engage hands-on with AI, building and testing solutions rather than just theorizing.

A massive field experiment with 70,000 applicants just delivered one of the most important findings for HR: AI voice agents conducting job interviews outperformed human recruiters.

The results:
✅ 12% more job offers
✅ 18% more people actually starting their jobs
✅ 17% higher 30-day retention
✅ 78% of applicants preferred AI over a human recruiter

Recruiters had predicted the opposite. The data proved them wrong.

In this episode, I break down what the study means for HR, fairness, and the future role of recruiters.

Let’s dive in and shape the future of work together!

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a fascinating study from the University of Gothenburg about the HR Business Partner (HRBP) model in Scandinavian workplaces.

The study highlights some big gaps between the ideal HRBP role and what actually happens in practice. Many HR professionals struggle with the strategic side of the role, and there’s often a disconnect between what line managers need—more operational support—and what the HRBP role is supposed to offer.

One of the key takeaways is the idea of moving towards a team-based approach to HR, which might fit better with the collaborative culture in Scandinavian companies. It’s a reminder that we need to adapt global HR models to fit our local context, rather than just adopting them as-is.

Tune in to hear more about these insights and how they could impact the way we think about HR in our own organizations!

A week at Almedalen made one thing obvious. Most leaders shaping how Sweden thinks about AI have only ever touched Copilot or the free ChatGPT, and that single reference point is quietly capping what entire organizations believe AI can do.

In this episode:

• Why almost nobody picks their own model, and how a Microsoft license becomes an AI strategy by accident
• The screwdriver vs power drill problem. Copilot solves the job, but it sets your expectations far too low
• How a single default tool shrinks the whole organization's sense of what AI is capable of
• The shadow IT trap, where your best people quietly run Claude or ChatGPT on the side and you lose both security and their hard-won knowledge
• Why limiting people to one tool becomes an employer branding problem over time
• What the real frontrunners do instead. Securing Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini and letting people choose
• The blunt take on IT departments that claim multi-model access is not doable on security grounds

Anthropic just dropped Claude Fable 5, and I've run it through the same test suite he's used on every major model for 2.5 years. The verdict is clear, but the bigger lesson isn't about the model at all.

In this episode:- Why Fable 5 feels like the most human-like model yet, and how it gives honest, direct feedback instead of patting you on the back- The worker scheduling test (30 people, legal requirements, hard constraints) and how Fable 5 handled it- A real client case where Fable 5 reworked a Copilot Studio workshop deck and improved the flow- The Mythos connection, the security guardrails, and why hacking headlines might be part PR- The pricing cliff on June 22. $10 per input token, $50 per output token, and Johannes's plan to pair Opus 4.8 for creation with Fable 5 for evaluation- The real bottleneck. Models are capable, organizations are not, and why experimentation time is the thing HR must fight for- McKinsey's warning that HR risks becoming a sub-department of IT if it doesn't take the driver's seat now

Many in HR exhibit an overly optimistic "this is fine" attitude about AI. But the reality is, AI is already transforming HR workflows and reducing headcounts.

In this episode, we discuss why passive optimism could doom the future of work. Just as past economic shifts brought immense social upheaval, the rise of AI promises to radically reshape the workforce. The difference is, these AI shifts are happening at breakneck speed compared to history.

This urgency requires proactive governance to navigate AI's impact on jobs. We can't casually expect that things will work out fine without deliberate effort to shape a positive future.

Drawing on historical lessons, we explore practical ways HR professionals can lean in to steer towards an ethical, humane AI-powered world of work. The time is now to awaken from passive optimism and guide the way forward.

Folks, I'll admit - I can sometimes get a little carried away jumping on the latest HR tech hype train. And AI has been hyped up immensely as a silver bullet to transform our field.

But recently, I took a step back to dive deeper into the EU's proposed Artificial Intelligence Act and its implications. This sweeping legislation aims to pass by end of 2023 and regulate how companies can deploy AI.

The EU recognizes dangers of unfettered AI in high-stakes HR areas like hiring and performance reviews. Their framework mandates transparency, testing for bias, and human oversight of AI decisions.

Responsible AI governance presents challenges. But it's also a chance to embed ethics into the foundations of HR technology.

Yes, AI hype still outpaces reality. As leaders, we must ensure algorithms uplift work for all - not undermine human dignity.

I’m optimistic about AI’s potential, but sober about the risks. Let’s keep discussing how HR can responsibly shape an intelligent yet human future of work.

With AI capabilities built into workflows, the friction of switching to ChatGPT diminishes. Though it offers robust conversation, platforms like LinkedIn can match these skills over time with massive datasets. I remain optimistic about AI's future, but believe it will live within our everyday platforms, not as a separate app.

I also share insights from my new course and upcoming conference talk on elevating HR with generative AI.

Organizations keep telling Johannes Sundlo, the host here, "we've got the basics covered, skip ahead." Then he asks them to show how they use AI, and gets blank stares. This episode is about AI shame, where it comes from, and the one step you can't skip.

In this episode:

• AI shame, what it looks like and why it's more common in 2026 than 2025
• The pattern behind it. Buyers say "we're proficient, go straight to processes," but the proficiency is a sliver of what the models can do
• Why this shows up most in leadership teams, and why leaders who skip the grunt work can't set credible AI expectations for their organization
• The missing step. You can't jump to agentic processes before you've done the unglamorous work of learning what the model can do
• Educate everyone, including truck drivers without computers, because employees are already getting AI advice on salary and managers in their spare time
• Why being practical beats strategic-only thinking in AI adoption right now
• Lessons from roughly 110 workshops this winter and spring, and why Johannes is scaling that down
