How to Get AI-Ready at Work

If you’ve been in the same role for a few years, you may have noticed that the skills you’re leveraging on a daily basis look a little different than they did when you first started. You’re not alone in that experience. In fact, since 2015, LinkedIn members have seen the core skills required for their job change by 25% .

That evolution is only going to accelerate, with LinkedIn Economic Graph data predicting a total change of up to 65% by 2030. As Ryan Roslansky , CEO of LinkedIn, puts it , “Jobs are changing on you, even if you’re not changing jobs.” And one of the biggest catalysts for this change is artificial intelligence (AI).?

This doesn’t mean your job is going away, but it might mean that AI is likely to automate some of your day-to-day tasks, and could assist with or improve others.

So, how can you prepare for this shift, improve your career resiliency, and even get ahead of the game when it comes to leveraging AI at work? One of the best steps you can take right now is to familiarize yourself with AI fundamentals.?

To help you out, Microsoft and LinkedIn have teamed up to create a free “Career Essentials in Generative AI ” learning path.?
