Artificial Intelligence Will Reshape the Workforce, Skills, and Communication, Warns LinkedIn CEO
In a recent interview with Bloomberg, LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky discussed how artificial intelligence is changing workplace communication, skill development, and the job market. This week’s interview demonstrates how AI technologies are affecting top executives at Microsoft and other organisations, as well as entry-level job applicants. According to Roslansky, artificial intelligence is both disrupting and facilitating advancement in fields including self-paced skill development, remote learning, and entrepreneurship. As AI transforms traditional roles and work expectations, he emphasised the necessity of ongoing reskilling. “A lot of uncertainty and disruption are going to occur. But in the long term, it’s advantageous,” Roslansky told Bloomberg. As an example of how AI tools are now helping even senior leadership with communication, he acknowledged in a light-hearted moment that he had used Microsoft’s Co-pilot AI to improve the tone of his emails to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.
