LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

The Rundown: LinkedIn just announced a slew of new AI features for recruiting, learning, marketing, and sales — with the Microsoft-owned platform tapping OpenAI tech for the updates.
The details:
Recruiter's new generative AI search will allow more conversational, natural language queries to find better candidates.
A new AI "learning coach" chatbot will provide users with advice and even course recommendations!
LinkedIn Marketing gets "Accelerate" to simplify ad campaigns, while inside sales gains an AI lead search and outreach tool.
Why it matters: Now AI can help you find your last job before replacing them all! Jokes aside, LinkedIn has a goldmine of data ripe for AI optimization, and this integration is likely a win-win for both job seekers and recruiters.

AI IN THE WORKPLACE

The Rundown: A new survey of over 1,500 executives and knowledge workers found that 49% of CEOs believe AI could AND should take over most or all of their responsibilities.
Key points:
CEOs polled by education platform EdX felt AI would free up more time for leadership, innovation, and employee development.
Experts say routine CEO tasks like contracts and evaluations may be automated soon, but strategic thinking can't yet be replicated.
79% of executives also worry they'll be left behind if they don't learn how to leverage AI.
Our thoughts: Even top execs see the AI writing on the wall — you either learn to work with AI or get replaced by someone who does. However, while IQ may not matter as much in the future, true leadership, creativity, and critical thinking will be the hard skills for AI to replicate.

AI TRAINING
Now that ChatGPT can search the internet again, ask it to automate research-heavy tasks for you. Try some of the examples below:
Note: Enable browsing by updating to the latest ChatGPT version, then navigate to Settings → Beta Features → toggle on Browse with Bing.
Create data visualizations: Prompt: "Find data on the latest electric vehicle sales by brand and create an infographic summarizing the key trends."
Generate summaries: Prompt: "Search for the most recent research on the benefits of remote work and summarize the top 5 findings in bullet points."
Compose reports: Prompt: "Pull the most up-to-date e-commerce revenue statistics and write a one-page report on the growth of online shopping."
Outline trends: Prompt: "Search for the top education technology trends and outline ideas for implementing them at my school."
By accessing real-time information, ChatGPT can now produce outputs that would previously require tons of manual research.
