Translated: if people are not educated, there is a risk that Italian companies will miss the train of productivity improvements that AI brings. But with all the bonuses and company courses for everything, do a bonus on tech/AI training or something similar?
extract:
According to the “Ready to compete?” Observatory, created by Lenovo in collaboration with the Triregional Committee of Young Entrepreneurs of Confindustria and presented at the Rapallo 2026 Conference, over eight out of ten companies do not believe they currently possess the skills necessary to fully use artificial intelligence
The data appears even more significant when compared with the level of awareness now achieved by the business world. 43.3 percent of those interviewed already consider AI a “fundamental” or “very important” growth factor, while 67.5 percent believe that it will become indispensable for competitiveness within the next three years. Yet only 18.7 percent of companies currently use artificial intelligence in a structured way within their processes.
However, the survey shows a anything but hostile attitude towards technology. 79.5 percent of entrepreneurs associate positive feelings such as opportunity, trust and enthusiasm with artificial intelligence, while 60.7 percent plan to increase investments in the sector in the next 12-24 months. About thirty percent also believe that artificial intelligence will profoundly or radically change their industry within the next three years.
The difficulties emerge above all in an economic context that companies continue to perceive as complex. The main critical issues include macroeconomic uncertainty, increased costs and the difficulty in finding specialized skills. It is therefore not surprising that 38.2 percent of those interviewed identify the loss of competitiveness as the main risk linked to a failure to adopt artificial intelligence, ahead of lower efficiency and reduced capacity for innovation.

Ricerca di confindustria, un classico.
Dopo aver ricevuto sussidi per anni e anni, l’industria italiana si lamenta e chiede altri sussidi raccontando sempre Le stesse cose: aumento dei costi, incertezza macroeconomica, difficoltà nel reperire (voler pagare) competenze specializzate.
Poi guardi il parco auto dell’azienda media lombarda e capisci dove sono finiti gli investimenti.
La dimostrazione che è solo psicosi e marketing. “Ci serve a tutti i costi” e poi non sanno dove infilarsela.
Capisco che l’AI possa servire ad alcune compagnie in settori specifici, ma al 90% delle compagnie italiane a cosa dovrebbe servire esattamente l’AI? In che modo l’AI si inserisce in processi già collaudati e funzionanti? Non è soltanto una variabile, spesso inaffidabile, in più da considerare?
Le aziende italiane hanno anche rotto il cazzo, vogliono innovazione e non vogliono pagare i giovani che sanno dove mettere le mani su queste cose…
Prendetevela nel culo un’altra volta va
Faccio un consulente aziendale per uno studio legale. Se un giorno decidessero di imparare l’IA sarei licenziato all’istante, e cosí per tante altre posizioni junior.
La uso per il 99% di quello che faccio, velocizza i ritmi in modo impressionante
