Despite this cautious approach to AI writing assistance, LinkedIn has seen a remarkable sixfold increase in job postings requiring AI skills over the past year.

Additionally, there has been a twentyfold rise in users adding AI skills to their profiles, indicating a growing trend towards AI proficiency in the workforce.

AI writing tools from various platforms, including LinkedIn, are designed to enhance writing quality, yet they often produce text that lacks originality and can be easily identified as AI-generated.

In a related concern, a recent study revealed that Meta's Llama AI model has memorized texts from well-known books, raising plagiarism issues.

This personal embrace of AI technology by Roslansky highlights a contrast between executive use of AI and broader user hesitance on the platform.

In the corporate landscape, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has warned that the increasing use of generative AI could lead to a reduction in the workforce as efficiency gains are realized.

In response to the rise of AI, Claudio Cerasa, editor of the Italian newspaper Il Foglio, launched an AI tool called Foglio AI, emphasizing the need for original reporting in journalism.

LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky has observed a hesitance among users to adopt AI-generated suggestions for enhancing their posts, stating that the feature is 'not as popular as I thought it would be.'

This reluctance stems from users' concerns about being criticized for utilizing AI content on LinkedIn, as it could negatively affect their professional opportunities.

Roslansky explained that the high stakes of LinkedIn, where posts function as an online resume, create a significant barrier for users to freely embrace AI assistance.

As a result, educators and companies are actively seeking methods to detect AI-generated content due to concerns about reliability and originality.

Roslansky himself utilizes AI tools, like Microsoft's Copilot, to enhance the professionalism of his communications, including emails to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.
