How AI Is Impacting Operations At LinkedIn

LinkedIn has been at the cutting edge of AI for years and uses AI in many ways users may not be aware of. I recently had the opportunity to talk to Igor Perisic, Chief Data Officer (CDO) and VP of Engineering at LinkedIn to learn more about the evolution of AI at LinkedIn, how it's being applied to daily activities, how worldwide data regulations impact the company, and some unique insight into the changing AI-related work landscape and job roles. Very early on at LinkedIn, data was identified as one of the company's core differentiating factors. Another differentiating factor was a core company value of "members first" (clarity, consistency, and control of how member data is used) and their vision to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce. As LinkedIn began finding more and more ways to weave AI into their products and services, they also recognized the importance of ensuring all employees were well-equipped to work with AI as needed in their jobs.
