LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky Embraces AI, Warns of Job Market Disruption Ahead
Roslansky, who collaborates closely with Microsoft as the head of LinkedIn, didn't shy away from revealing his own use of AI. He admitted using Microsoft's Copilot—an AI-powered tool—to refine his emails, especially when communicating with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. 'Before I send him an email, I hit the Copilot button to make sure that I sound Satya-smart,' Roslansky confessed. The tool analyzes past messages and context to generate more polished, professional language.
While highlighting the transformative potential of AI, Roslansky noted that it is already changing how people work and learn. 'In the long term, it's a really good thing. I think we are going to see real democratisation in terms of how people can now easily start small businesses, build an app, teach themselves something that used to only be available if you were in some elite educational institution,' he said. However, he acknowledged that the road ahead may be bumpy. 'There is going to be a ton of disruption. There's going to be a ton of uncertainty along the way.'
To navigate this shift, Roslansky urged professionals to focus on uniquely human skills that AI cannot replicate—like communication, collaboration, and creativity. He recommended staying informed and continually upskilling to remain competitive in an evolving job market.
LinkedIn's internal data supports the growing trend. The number of job listings requiring AI skills has seen a sharp increase, and more users are proactively adding these skills to their profiles. The platform itself has integrated AI-driven features that help users improve their job applications and gain deeper insights into job descriptions.
Despite the advancements, Roslansky acknowledged that LinkedIn users are cautious about over-relying on AI, especially in how they present themselves. He shared that posts that seem overly robotic or clearly AI-generated can harm a user's professional image. 'LinkedIn is a professional image for many users. So, if a post looks clearly AI-written, people will call it out,' he said.
Another area of concern is the rise of fake profiles, made easier by AI. In response, LinkedIn has ramped up its verification options, including work email and government ID proof, to help authenticate user identities and maintain trust on the platform.
While companies like Amazon have hinted at potential workforce reductions due to AI, Roslansky clarified that LinkedIn's recent job cuts were unrelated. However, he emphasized that all teams within the company are now being encouraged to adopt an "AI-first" mindset.
Looking to the future, Roslansky remains optimistic but grounded. 'People are going to have to learn how to re-skill now that their job is changing on them, even if they're not changing their job,' he said. 'There's this super messy middle, and I think that that is going to be the case with AI. It's naive to think otherwise.'

Microsoft Staff Stage Sit-In At HQ Over Company's Israel Links: 'Gaza Is Being Bombed'
Microsoft employees staged a sit-in at the Redmond campus, accusing the company of enabling Israeli military operations in Gaza. Dozens of Microsoft employees and former staff staged a sit-in at the company's campus in Redmond, Washington, accusing the tech giant of enabling Israeli military operations in Gaza through its software. The demonstrators, who declared part of the campus a 'Free Zone", held placards reading 'Join the Worker Intifada – No Labor for Genocide" and 'Martyred Palestinian Children's Plaza". The protest was organised by the activist group No Azure for Genocide, which has been calling on Microsoft to end contracts with Israel and divest from the country. It comes less than a week after Microsoft said it had launched an independent review into claims that its Azure cloud services were being used by the Israeli military for surveillance. Anger Over Surveillance Claims Earlier this month, reports in the Guardian and Israel's +972 Magazine alleged that Israel's military intelligence unit, Unit 8200, had used Azure to store mobile phone recordings of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. The company denied knowledge of such practices, saying, 'We are not aware of the surveillance of civilians or collection of their cellphone conversations using Microsoft's services. Based on these reviews, including interviewing dozens of employees and assessing documents, we have found no evidence to date that Microsoft's Azure and AI technologies have been used to target or harm people in the conflict in Gaza." One protester, former employee Hossam Nasr, said the action was prompted by what he described as Microsoft's inadequate response. He said, 'I watched [journalist] Anas al-Sharif report on Gaza relentlessly, through starvation, through extermination campaigns, through bombing. He was intentionally targeted." Another employee, Nasreen Jaradat, said, 'Every single second that we wait, things are worse and worse in Palestine. More and more people are being bombed and maimed. It's time for us to escalate, however we can." The protest comes amid growing concern from international organisations about the humanitarian situation in Gaza. The UN has warned of 'widespread starvation, malnutrition and disease", while health authorities in Gaza estimate more than 62,000 Palestinians have been killed since Israel launched its military response to Hamas's 7 October attacks. view comments First Published: August 20, 2025, 16:39 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Meta CTO Andrew Boz Bosworth: AI will give engineers "leverage" and result in...
Meta 's chief technology officer Andrew "Boz" Bosworth predicts artificial intelligence will create a sharp divide in the software engineering profession, with those who master AI tools commanding premium positions while others fall into lower-tier roles focused on data gathering and labeling tasks. Speaking during an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Instagram, Bosworth said AI will lead to "a stronger tiering of capability" between developers who embrace the technology and those who don't adapt quickly enough. "The engineers who master the tools to the point that they can't themselves be replaced by the tools command a premium," Bosworth explained. "And the people who don't master the tools end up working below the tool layer, in data gathering, labelling tasks; they end up in tasks that for whatever reason the machine isn't good at and aren't high-leverage." AI tools mirror internet's transformative impact on coding by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo Bosworth compared AI's potential benefits to how the internet revolutionized software development, enabling developers to Google compiler errors and access better API documentation through online communities. In the near term, he believes AI "makes our lives easier in the same way the internet made our lives easier." Looking further ahead, he envisions AI providing engineers with unprecedented "leverage" that will drive significant "complexity and productivity" improvements. Bosworth says future of software companies will be small teams, massive scale The Meta executive predicts AI will enable dramatically leaner organisations, forecasting "companies with a couple of employees and billions of users." This aligns with CEO Mark Zuckerberg's vision of AI creating "midlevel engineers" capable of writing code and helping founders build with "very small, talent-dense teams." Zuckerberg has championed an "efficiency" push at Meta since 2022, resulting in tens of thousands of layoffs. The company recently announced plans to allow job candidates to use AI in coding interviews, signalling its commitment to integrating artificial intelligence throughout its engineering processes. Despite acknowledging uncertainty about exact outcomes, Bosworth emphasised that AI will help the software industry grow rather than shrink it. AI Masterclass for Students.
