Elon Musk and Bill Gates are wrong about AI imminently replacing all jobs. 'That's not what we're seeing,' LinkedIn exec slams | Fortune
"That's not what we're seeing,"
"What we're seeing is that organizations who are adopting and integrating this technology, they're actually going out and hiring more people to really take advantage of this technology,"
"They're going out and looking for more business development people, more technologically savvy people, and more sales people as they realize the business opportunities, the innovation possibilities, and ultimately the growth possibilities of this technology."
High-profile warnings predict AI-driven job losses, but real-time labor-market data indicate a different pattern. Organizations that adopt and integrate AI are expanding headcount to exploit new capabilities. Employers are actively recruiting business development professionals, technologically skilled workers, and additional sales staff to pursue business, innovation, and growth opportunities enabled by AI. LinkedIn's platform functions as a near‑real‑time barometer of job postings and applications, revealing demand for AI literacy, tooling familiarity, and prompt‑writing skills. Upskilling in AI and technical competencies will be essential for candidates aiming to benefit from the evolving job market.
