He emphasises that AI will undoubtedly bring 'a ton of disruption' , but it will also reshape the nature of work and will create more opportunities. In an interview with Bloomberg, Roslansky linked the present technological shift to Industrial Revolution. He stressed on the fact that despite initial problems, AI will ultimately create more industries and multiple new
job opportunities
.
Roslansky emphasised that the rise of AI doesn't mean the end of work—it means the evolution of work.
'We're seeing a shift in the skills employers are looking for,' he noted, pointing to LinkedIn data highlighting increase in demand for AI literacy, human-AI collaboration skills and prompt engineering.
"There's going to be, over time, more and more options to build careers without having to go work for a big company," Roslansky suggested. He also said that the skills needed for the same jobs are also evolving. For instance in India, the job skills required for the same job have changed by 40% since 2015 and he expects this figure to rise to 70% by 2030.

, who has also publicly stated that people are underestimating the impact of AI on jobs but rejects the notion of a "bloodbath." Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, has direct advice for those who claim artificial intelligence (AI) isn't useful and yet to find practical applications for the technology, suggesting that a lack of perceived utility stems from insufficient effort.

He also shared examples of how he uses the tool effectively in his daily life.
'Frankly, if you haven't found something where it's useful to you, about something you care about, then you're not trying hard enough, you're not being original enough,' Hoffman stated during an interview on The Economist podcast, broadcast this week (via Business Insider).
Both LinkedIn executives emphasise on the fact that it is important for workers to shift their focus from static jobs and master their tasks by learning new skills.

90% lose in real estate, expert explains what the top 1% do instead
Property has long been seen as a safe bet in India, but Gurgaon-based real estate advisor, Aishwarya Shri Kapoor, has claimed that 90% of buyers actually lose money in Indian real wrote on LinkedIn, "Why Indian real estate fails 90% of buyers, and what the top 1% are doing instead. Let's be honest. Most people in India don't build wealth through real estate. They build EMIs. They buy wrong projects, wrong timing, wrong advice. Then blame the market." advertisementShe explained how many homebuyers visit multiple projects in a single day, ask only about price per square foot, and choose brokers based on who offers the biggest discount. "You bought a liability, not an investment," Aishwarya noted. She pointed out how bad project choices, emotional decision-making, and lack of strategy are undermining the financial prospects of many criticised what she terms "India's biggest real estate problem": the tendency for purchases driven by emotion rather than informed diligence. She wrote, "India's biggest real estate problem = Emotional buying + zero strategy. No one does price benchmarking. No one asks about rental absorption. No one checks title clarity or resale history. Everyone just says: 'How much is per square foot?'By contrast, the real estate advisor pointed out that the top 1% of investors operate methodically, purchasing during pre-launch phases, negotiating rigorously, and planning exits within 3–5 years, often achieving returns between 2.5x to elite group, Kapoor explains, follows a specific formula: 'Product + Timing + Zone + Brand + Exit Path = ROI.' The absence of any component can lead buyers into stagnation, especially in oversupplied or underdeveloped areas such as Tier 2 parts of advice to prospective buyers is to start viewing real estate not as a mere consumer product but as a strategic investment. "Think like capital. Not like a customer. Don't ask- What's available? Ask- What's underpriced with 3X resale potential?'Her final advice? Change the way you think. Instead of looking for 'ready-to-move' homes, look for what's underpriced and has the potential to triple in value."Play like the top 1%. Or keep competing with people who bought brochures, not blueprints," Kapoor Watch

Apple's Liquid Glass design could be first step towards an all-glass iPhone
Apple is reportedly planning a major design overhaul for the iPhone, aiming to release a mostly glass model in time for the product's 20th anniversary in 2027. According to a report by MacRumors, citing Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple may start making gradual changes as early as next year, beginning with a smaller Dynamic Island on 2026 iPhone models. These changes would align with the company's broader visual shift, hinted at through the recently announced 'Liquid Glass' design language, which debuted with iOS 26 and other platform updates. Gurman has previously reported that Apple is working on a 'mostly glass, curved iPhone' featuring no display cutouts. While details remain limited, the new model is expected to incorporate advanced display technology that allows both the front-facing camera and Face ID sensors to sit beneath the screen. This shift could begin with the iPhone 18 Pro series in 2025. As reported earlier by The Information, Apple may implement under-display Face ID next year, with only a small hole in the display's top-left corner to accommodate the front camera. This change would eliminate the current pill-shaped Dynamic Island, significantly refining the front design. Backing these claims, a 9To5Mac report earlier this year pointed to an Apple patent focused on improving under-display camera technology. The patent describes a display with selectively removed subpixels to improve light transmission—especially of infrared (IR) light—critical for Face ID's functionality. Apple has reportedly faced challenges with IR transmission in past under-display camera attempts. In parallel with these efforts, Apple is also believed to be working on a foldable iPhone. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently stated that Apple has started finalising key specifications for the foldable device, which is expected to enter mass production in the second half of 2026. The foldable iPhone is expected to feature a book-style design with a 7.8-inch internal display and a 5.5-inch cover screen. It is also expected to be extremely thin, measuring around 4.5mm when unfolded. Apple may incorporate its under-display sensor technology in the foldable model too. Apple's Liquid Glass design: What is new With iOS 26 and other platform updates, Apple unveiled its new Liquid Glass design language. It introduces translucent interface layers, dynamic reflections, and fluid animations that respond to user movement and environmental context. The redesign extends across the system, transforming everything from buttons and sliders to full panels, toolbars, and app navigation. Additionally, iOS 26 brings a new 'Clear' look for the Home Screen, allowing app icons and widgets to appear with a transparent or semi-transparent finish.

India-US trade talks stall over US demands The Trump administration has demanded India to allow lower-duty imports of US agricultural products like maize and soybean and India is resisting the demand, according to The Times of India. The government is concerned about the effect of such imports on farmers. There are also concerns about potential effects of genetically modified food on health. Sources told the newspaper that India-US trade talks have hit a hurdle. India had also expected to secure zero duty access to US markets for Indian textiles, leather goods, pharmaceuticals, and some engineering goods and automobile parts, but US negotiators have said that going down to zero tariffs immediately is not possible. Separately, Bloomberg has reported that the Trump administration wants India to remove tariffs and ease price controls on medical devices. It has also demanded India to relax its data localisation requirements for digital services. US following take-it-or-leave-it approach As the Trump administration has persisted with maximalist demands, an Indian officials told Mint that its dealings came off as a 'take-it-or-leave-it offer'. The newspaper further reported that India has made it clear to the Trump administration that unless it changes its animal feeding practices, such as the usage of non-vegetarian feed to cattle, US dairy products will not be allowed into India. 'The negotiations are not progressing as expected. The talks were meant to be two-way, as agreed. However, the US team's insistence on opening certain critical sectors comes across as a take-it-or-leave-it offer," a person familiar with the matter told the newspaper.
