If you’re not tuned into #TalentConnect…you’re missing out 👀
It’s been so great to spend time with talent leaders discussing how jobs, skills and businesses are changing. AI has a hand in this, but it’s not the whole story. Hiring is down 30% globally, but applications per applicant are up 30%, compared to pre-pandemic levels.
AI has created nearly 2 million new jobs globally in just over three years (!), and the skills employers are looking for are changing twice as fast as the skills U.S. workers are adding to their profiles. (Add your AI skills to your profile folks!)
Recruiters are feeling it! They’re at the center, making sure their companies have the skills and teams needed for what’s next. We’re excited to introduce Hiring Assistant 2 to help recruiters spend less time on the mechanics of hiring and more time on the decisions that need their judgement.
There’s a lot more to come from #TalentConnect. Join the livestream now: https://lnkd.in/da7AVYP4like 182love 36celebrate 26insightful 6support 2funny 1

Day 1 at Talent Connect reinforced a simple idea: in the AI era, the workforce you build determines the growth you achieve. As skills and business needs evolve faster than ever, business leaders are shifting from asking "Who should we hire?" to "What capabilities do we need to win?"
We introduced Hiring Assistant 2 to help organizations build the workforce they need to compete and grow in a rapidly changing market. Learn more below, and let me know in the comments how is talent becoming a bigger part of your business strategy?

It’s almost time! #TalentConnect is one of my favorite events of the year because talent leaders from the world's leading companies come together to tackle some of the biggest questions around how work, skill building and hiring are changing in the AI era.
How is work changing for professionals? How are businesses adapting? And how are leaders building the workforce their businesses need to compete and grow?
There’s a lot to unpack, and I’m looking forward to connecting and seeing many of you in New York.
Hope you can join us in person or virtually: https://lnkd.in/eUTrsVbVlike 125celebrate 20love 6insightful 2funny 1support 1

This is a version of unbundling, which happens all the time in markets and can be incredibly strategically disruptive… the most valuable components of a product are carved out and performed by a faster/cheaper/better solution. I think Ethan is right to call out this trend for certain jobs, which will shine a light on which parts of the job are truly valued (and paid for) by the market… because it’s not always what we think at face value. Are universities paying mathematicians for proofs or teaching?Ethan Mollick

What you are seeing in math right now is a consequence of the jagged frontier, and a precursor of what is to come in other professions. Yes, mathematicians do math, but they also have other tasks they view as important (mentor students, maintain a scientific community, safeguard the future of a field, foster a love of math) that AI can't do
At least one worry that mathematicians seem to have is that by focusing on the flashiest, most obvious element of what mathematicians do (make proofs), the AI companies are damaging the other tasks that AI can't do. AI can discover superhuman proofs, but that is not all that the math profession is about, and actually can undermine and reduce the attention to the other aspects of the job that are important to mathematicians. It becomes harder to defend the value of the many other tasks mathematicians do to the outside world if the most visible part is taken away.
I suspect we will see more of this across fields and professions that will increasingly be forced to help people understand that their jobs consist not only the most visible tasks that AI can do, but also tasks that the AI cannot do or does badly.like 83love 7insightful 7support 4

AI is helping mathematicians make real progress on Navier-Stokes. A problem that has resisted humans for generations.
Super cool. But that’s not how a billion people are going to decide if AI matters.
They’re going to decide it matters when it gives them time back. When Sunday night isn’t spent doing expense reports. When a five-step approval becomes one step. When a doctor catches a disease earlier. When a kid anywhere in the world gets access to a great teacher. When healthcare gets better and more affordable.
Kevin Scott put it this way:
“A.I. is one of the most powerful things humans have ever invented for improving the quality of life of everyone, but it will take time. It should take time. We've always tackled super-challenging problems through technology. And so, we can either tell ourselves a good story about the future or a bad story about the future, and, whichever one we choose, that's probably the one that'll come true.”
The question is what we choose to do with it.
I think the best companies start with a vision: What is the world we want this technology to help create?
Then work backwards... Build toward that vision AND put the safeguards in place to do it responsibly.
The answer isn’t to start from fear, or to ignore the risks. It’s to be clear about the future we want, and build toward it with safeguards from the start.
This is a time for real leadership. Technical brilliance matters enormously. But so do judgment, experience, empathy, and an understanding of how businesses and institutions actually work, and how change actually lands on people.
The technology isn’t going to decide what kind of future we build with it. We will.like 430love 43insightful 36celebrate 12support 11

13+ years at LinkedIn. 8 different roles!
A career that has been anything but linear.
Archana Sekhar's journey is a reminder that growth doesn’t always require changing companies. Sometimes, it comes from continuously reinventing yourself within one.
In Part 2 of our conversation, we discuss the human skills that will matter even more in the AI era, the career rule she would rewrite for professionals in India, and lessons from her unconventional journey.
Because in a world powered by AI, our most human skills may become our greatest advantage.
