LinkedIn to use AI to help jobseekers find new roles
LONDON: LinkedIn is to start using artificial intelligence (AI) to help users with job searches by helping them look beyond job titles and locations.
The professional networking site said its new AI-powered job search will enable people to type out and search for exactly what they are looking for in a role, rather than relying on filters such as location, industry or title.
The online giant said it means users will be able to instead search for jobs using phrases, for example "find me entry-level brand manager roles in fashion" or "jobs for analysts who love solving sustainability challenges."
The update comes as concerns continue to be raised about the impact artificial intelligence will have on the jobs market, including fears it could take a number of administrative roles away from human workers in years to come.
Last week, a poll from conciliation service Acas found that more than one in four workers were worried that AI will lead to job losses, with almost one in five concerned about the technology making errors.
But LinkedIn's Zara Easton said the firm believed the technology could also make it easier for people to find new roles and career paths in a system that many already found frustrating or difficult to follow as new roles and careers emerge.
"AI is changing the way we work, and job search on LinkedIn will completely change the way people find their next opportunity," she said.
"Our hope is that this way of discovering roles – and even new careers – will bring together job seekers' skills, interests and aspirations to find their next step.
"As work continues to change and new job titles emerge that didn't even exist a few years ago, skills are more important than ever, and our AI-powered tools can help people to navigate their own unique path." – dpa/Tribune News Service

PRCA Thailand Conference Reveals Nine in Ten Thais Want Transparency as AI Use Explodes
BANGKOK, THAILAND - Media OutReach Newswire - 14 August 2025 – As Thailand accelerates investment in artificial intelligence (AI), new research from PRCA APAC and YouGov reveals that trust is the cornerstone of public acceptance. While there is cautious optimism and strong calls for regulation, the Thai public expects transparency from brands and institutions to build and maintain that trust. Presented at the inaugural PRCA Thailand Conference 2025, the study, titled 'The Impact of AI on Thai Society', reveals a complex national picture. While Thailand is emerging as a regional leader in AI, with a USD 15.4 billion investment in infrastructure and a national plan to produce 90,000 AI professionals, the public remains sharply aware of the risks that come with rapid adoption. Key highlights from the research include: --> Transparency builds trust: 92% of Thais want brands to disclose AI use. Trust spikes among Gen Z (37%) and young families (31%) when AI use is transparent. --> Misuse tops concerns: 40% cite AI misuse as their biggest worry, followed by misinformation, deepfakes, privacy, and ethics. Gen X and rural groups are most cautious. --> AI supports, not replaces: 55% say AI boosts efficiency, but most agree it should enhance—not replace—human creativity. --> Demand for guidance: Many want practical AI education online and offline, with calls for stronger government regulation on ethics and skills training. 'Trust and transparency aren't just public expectations, they're now brand imperatives in the AI era,' said Dr. Karine Lohitnavy, Chair of PRCA Thailand and Founder of Midas PR. 'As communicators, we have a vital role to play in bridging the gap between innovation and understanding. That means helping the public make sense of AI's impact while holding brands accountable to ethical, human-first storytelling.' Speaker Narongyod Mahittivanicha, Founder of TWF Agency and Vice President of the Artificial Intelligence Association of Thailand, reinforced the irreplaceable role of human creativity in public relations. Referencing a recent viral Coldplay-related campaign known as the 'Astronomer CEO' crisis response, he noted that the level of creativity, emotional intelligence, and nuance involved is something AI cannot yet replicate. In a fireside chat titled 'Viva La Press Release! Old Format, New Tech,' Jennifer Kok, Founder and CEO of Media OutReach Newswire, said: 'In today's digital publishing and AI era, press releases play a vital role in driving brand trust through verbatim, guaranteed posting on authoritative news websites. These features give PR professionals the ability to control the narrative of key corporate messages, building brand equity with targeted journalists and media across their chosen markets. The advancements in AI will further empower the public relations industry.' Panel discussions included leaders from Microsoft Thailand, SCBx, Predictive, and Xponential Co., exploring AI's real-world applications in PR, brand reputation, and public perception. Moderated by Edelman Thailand's Vorasit Turongsomboon and digital creator Tossapol Leongsuppon, the panels addressed ethical governance, influencer transparency, and the public's call for structured AI education and stronger regulation. Jaruwan Vorarakthananun, Communications Lead at Microsoft Thailand, said: 'AI isn't here to replace communications professionals—it's here to empower us. Generative AI is still evolving, learning every day. It's up to us to guide its growth and ensure it truly works for us. Don't hesitate to adopt AI into your daily work. Treat it as a trusted assistant that helps us work smarter, faster, and with greater impact.' The inaugural PRCA Thailand Conference took place on 6 August 2025 at SCBx NEXT Tech, Siam Paragon, bringing together professionals from Thailand's public relations, business, and technology communities. The conference was supported by Gold Sponsor Media OutReach Newswire and other sponsors, including Edelman Thailand, MIDAS-PR, Moonshot Digital, Vero, SCBX, and YouGov.
