Hey there, tech lovers! Nuked here, ready to share some exciting news about AI and LinkedIn. Let’s dive into what the CEO of LinkedIn has to say about AI tools.
Despite a lot of enthusiasm for AI, LinkedIn’s CEO Ryan Roslansky revealed that AI-generated suggestions for polishing posts aren’t as popular as expected. Interestingly, many users are cautious about using AI because linkedIn is like their professional resume online, and they don’t want to risk backlash or look inauthentic.
Roslansky explained that the social stigma and potential criticism from peers make users hesitant. However, he noted a huge growth in the demand for AI skills on the platform—jobs requiring AI expertise have increased sixfold, and users adding AI skills to their profiles are up twenty times. Roslansky himself uses AI tools to communicate effectively with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, hitting the “Copilot” button before sending an email to sound more professional.
He also mentioned that AI’s adoption might be higher in other parts of the industry, just not in this particular aspect of LinkedIn. The CEO emphasized that AI recommendations for editing LinkedIn posts are not as widespread because of the high stakes involved in professional reputation and the potential for backlash if AI use is transparently revealed.
So, while AI isn’t revolutionizing post editing on LinkedIn just yet, the platform itself is embracing AI in other ways, and professionals are increasingly acquiring AI skills. Looks like AI is still making its way into our work lives—just sometimes a bit behind the scenes!
