She Loves Data x Barclays: A Partnership to Empower and Inspire Through Technology
On 31st July, we officially kicked off an exciting new partnership between She Loves Data and Barclays with a thought-provoking event in Prague. Together, we gathered a room full of thinkers, builders, and challengers to tackle a question that’s shaping the future for all of us: What is AI really doing to our jobs — and what do we do about it?
January 13, 2026
Featuring an incredible panel of experts — Maya Nováková, Anna Bohonek, and Vojtěch Kurka — and moderated by the brilliant Alena Plachá, we explored the hidden layers of the AI revolution. From the restructuring of entry-level jobs to the rise of digital-native innovation and the blurred boundary between human and machine decision-making, the night was packed with insights that went beyond the headlines.
Key Takeaways (That Go Beyond the Headlines)
It’s not just about job transformation. We’re witnessing the birth of roles that didn’t exist five years ago — where creativity and strategic thinking take center stage alongside AI collaboration.
It's not just about job transformation. The workplace is evolving rapidly, and what's most exciting is the new kind of opportunity that's emerging: one where tools are accessible, experimentation is encouraged, and younger professionals are entering the workforce with a fresh lens — and fewer limits. We're witnessing the birth of roles that didn't exist five years ago, where creativity and strategic thinking take center stage alongside AI collaboration.
Technical skills aren’t enough.
AI can generate text, code, and insights — but it can’t yet define the why. What matters now is the ability to ask sharp questions, frame problems in the right context, and communicate with clarity. In short: we don’t need more people who use AI — we need more people who can guide it.
Prompting is becoming obsolete.
The myth of the “prompt engineer” as the career of the future? Already fading. Models are evolving fast, and the real value lies in contextual input, not syntax tricks. The future of work will reward those who can translate messy, real-world challenges into structured direction AI can follow.
The risk isn’t just losing jobs — it’s losing thinking.
We talked about what happens when AI becomes a shortcut rather than a collaborator. Without personal discipline, it’s easy to stop questioning, stop learning, and start outsourcing our cognitive process entirely. The challenge is not to resist AI — but to remain intellectually awake while using it.
Innovation is happening where no one’s looking.
Some of the most promising uses of AI won’t come from boardrooms — they’ll come from classrooms, side projects, and unexpected creators. There’s a whole generation growing up with AI as a native tool — and they’ll design what the rest of us haven’t yet imagined.
The Power of Partnership
This event was just the beginning of what promises to be a meaningful partnership between She Loves Data and Barclays. Together, we’re committed to sparking conversations that matter, empowering communities with knowledge, and bridging the gap between human potential and technological advancements.
Eva Taase, Managing Director at She Loves Data, shared her thoughts on the collaboration: "We are incredibly grateful to partner with Barclays, a company that shares our vision for creating a future where technology empowers rather than divides. This partnership opens the door to new opportunities for learning, growth, and collaboration. Together, we’re not just imagining the future of work — we’re building it."
Barclays also shared their excitement about the collaboration, with “It was truly inspiring to see so many people come together around such an important topic. The energy in the room and the meaningful discussions that followed made it a remarkable success.” Maya Novakova, Head of Real-Time Platform Automation
What’s Next?
This is just the beginning! Together, She Loves Data and Barclays plan to host more events across cities and industries, bringing together communities to explore the intersection of technology, innovation, and human potential.
To everyone who joined us in Prague, thank you for your curiosity, your questions, and your ideas. And to our new partners at Barclays, thank you for believing in the power of community and collaboration.
Stay tuned for more events and initiatives as we continue to connect, learn, and grow — together.
