Hello and welcome to the eye for artificial intelligence. In this edition: Tomer Cohen, chief product employee in LinkedIn, talks about the future of work and how Microsoft’s professional social network owns Amnesty International to make recruits and job seekers, we hope it will be better … Openai closes the largest investment capital financing round. Is it a model for AI’s IP puzzle?

If you want to know how artificial intelligence changes the nature of work, LinkedIn offers a good view. Microsoft’s professional social network is a major center for job and employment seekers-every minute, 10,000 people are applying for a job through the platform and seven people are successfully appointed, according to the company. This means that it has a lot of data about the roles that companies and the skills they are looking for. LinkedIn is also a good lens in which you can check how Amnesty International changes Looking for work.

The person in the end is in the end for offering the features of the artificial intelligence product on LinkedIn He is Tomer Cohen, chief product employee in the company. I recently sat with Cohen in LinkedIn’s office in London to chat about the impact of artificial intelligence on job seekers, employees, and the private LinkedIn platform.

70 % of skills will change in most jobs by 2030

Cohen began to tell me that the company’s research indicates that 70 % of the skills used in most jobs will change by 2030, with Amnesty International as a large driver for these changes. This is just four years from now. There are already signs of major transformations. LinkedIn also publishes an annual report called “Jobs in height” About roles that witness the largest growth in job lists in specific geographical areas. This year, it was 70 % of the roles that saw the fastest new growth in the list. What is the most requested role in the list? Well, it is not surprising that it is a “artificial intelligence engineer”.

With the roles that are likely to turn very quickly, Cohen says, the wise employers began to think about the specific roles they need to fill – and in fact, they dismantle some traditional roles – and more about the skills they need their employees today and in the future. So this year, LinkedIn produced a new report called “Skills rise.” Once again, it is not surprising that “literacy is Amnesty International” ranks one of the most desirable skills. But also extensive and directed skills towards man such as “innovative thinking”, “problem solving”, “strategic thinking”, “public rhetoric”, “mitigation of conflict” and “building relations”.

For Cohen, the most surprising statistics of LinkedIn’s research are that people who enter the workforce now will have twice the number of roles in their career as a person who entered the workforce 15 years ago. He says: “If there is time to build a mentality of growth and focus on the ability to adapt, lightness of movement, the ability to learn and shift between roles, then this is now true.” University education and official universities will matter much less than before – at least in terms of the degree that people already get. Instead, smart employers will search for lifelong learners who can quickly get new skills and adapt to new responsibilities.

Learn to allow employees to learn to learn

Cohen used an example of how to allow AI to quickly create a new role he calls “full stack facility” – which means that with the help of Amnesty International, AI can perform pre -approved jobs in different roles and functions, including research, development, design, engineering and product.

The most successful companies during this transition are those that give their employees time to learn skills and experience building things with artificial intelligence. It also indicates that there is tension because the time he spends learning is often a time away from doing daily work and because all experiences do not succeed in trying to build things. But he says companies need to find this balance. If there is anything, he says, they must direct the scale to help employees learn artificial intelligence skills.

“If you are out of performance [as opposed to learning]He says, “You will fall behind,” Giving people space to learn is very important. You have to turn your workforce. If you are within one year, you are disappointed that your workforce is not “the original Amnesty International”, this is your mistake [for not giving them time to learn AI skills.]”

Employment becomes Amnesty International for Artificial Intelligence

Cohen asked about complaints that artificial intelligence had a harmful effect on the recruitment process. I have heard that companies say that the candidates use artificial intelligence to apply for many jobs more than the past, so that they are immersed in applications. Moreover, more people were using obstetric artificial intelligence to exhaust CVS and their cover messages, making applicants seem more homogeneous and examined more difficult – making employers in many cases turn to Amnesty International to do the initial examination of applicants.

On the other hand, job seekers complain that the way the recruits use artificial intelligence may not give the candidates fair-especially if these AI tools are not prepared to take into account the changing focus on more soft and difficult skills on the discrimination that Cohen spoke about. Using artificial intelligence tools for initial examination interviewsSomething uses many companies now, you can feel abstract for job seekers – and it may be a non -fair candidate who will be well ten rented but confused by conducting a video interview with artificial intelligence robot. (And worse, in some cases, artificial intelligence examination tools may house hidden biases that even the companies that they use may not be aware of them.)

Cohen admitted that these were problems. But he said that the AI ​​tools from LinkedIn were designed to help face some of these trends. For example, he says it is a difficult job market now in most of the developed world. As a result, many job seekers feel somewhat despair, and artificial intelligence has made it easy for people to apply for jobs that may not be more appropriate for them. LinkedIn now has artificial intelligence tools that help the candidate determining the quality of their skills matching to a role, providing them with a percentage of extent to which the employer is looking for. Cohen says more than a third of LinkedIn job seekers use this tool. LinkedIn also renewed its search process using obstetric artificial intelligence, so job seekers no longer need to use keywords that may match what is in the job description, and instead they can describe in simple English what types of jobs are looking for.

The company has also made the first self -powered training tool that people can use to practice business conversations and receive notes created from artificial intelligence from a training model that was specifically trained to provide a kind of comments that the executive trainer may make. The tool, which works with both sound and text, is often designed for the types of reactions that the employee and the manager may face-provide difficult comments, perform a performance review, or discuss the balance between work and life with a manager. But it can also be used for a job interview. The tool is available in English for LinkedIn Premium subscribers.

When it comes to recruitment, LinkedIn used obstetory artificial intelligence to communicate with candidates. Cohen says these messages made of AI-CARANCED lead to a 40 % increase in response rate, and candidates also respond by 10 % faster without AI’s help. Only this month was launched the company The first “artificial intelligence agent”The “employment assistant” is called – a designer to do many tasks that a young recruiter may perform. “Everything from the sources all the way to communicate with the candidates will be automatic [recruiters]So they can focus on these phone calls, interactions and meetings with the candidates. “

The agent was tried by some major companies, including Baitand SiemensAnd Verizon. Digital infrastructure company equinixWho was one of the first users, stated that the use of artificial intelligence agent allowed both human consistent people to increase the number of open roles that they could deal with at a certain time from five to 15 to 15.

This is the type of productivity that makes men’s executives smile. But I am not convinced that companies are taking Cohen’s message about lifelong learning and finding ways to transform their current working bases for a future where work is organized around a dynamic set of skills, not roles. You find many companies, especially in the labor market, which is preferred by employers, that it is easier to shoot workers, and then employ new companies with experience that seems to be completely identical to the job description – rather than knowing how to reunite the current workforce. Moreover, current recruitment processes are generally bad in evaluating people of soft skills – adaptation ability, learning efficiency, flexibility, and flexibility – Cohen says it will be more important in this brave new world. There is an opportunity for companies that can develop and publish such assessments first.

However, here is the rest of the news of artificial intelligence for this week.
