Sunday Scaries, Upskilling, and Responsible AI

Sunday Scaries

The sun sets on a man outside with a backpack dreads the start of his workweek.

Given the recent headlines around layoffs and a confusing economic outlook, it’s no wonder Sunday Scaries—feelings of dread and anxiety before starting a new work week—are looking a little different these days. Recent LinkedIn data found that nearly 75% of working Americans now say they’re experiencing them, but what’s more is that these scaries are no longer just prevalent on Sundays. They’re beginning to seep into every day of the week with nearly 30% of people telling Headspace they are having a hard time sleeping four nights a week out of fear of losing their jobs.

So, Headspace and LinkedIn joined forces to spark conversation around the importance of mental health as professionals continue to navigate this turbulent time. You can start practicing mindfulness by checking out The Headspace Guide to Everyday Stress and The Headspace Guide to Mindful on LinkedIn Learning—free until April 15th.


Using AI Responsibly

AI is not new to LinkedIn. LinkedIn has long used AI to enhance our members’ professional experiences. While AI has enormous potential to expand access to opportunity and transform the world of work in positive ways, the use of AI comes with risks and potential for harm. Inspired by, and aligned with our parent company Microsoft’s leadership in this area, we wanted to share the Responsible AI Principles we use at LinkedIn to guide our work:?

  • Advance Economic Opportunity: People are at the center of what we do. AI is a tool to further our vision, empowering our members and augmenting their success and productivity.?
  • Uphold Trust: Our commitments to privacy, security and safety guide our use of AI. We take meaningful steps to reduce the potential risks of AI.
  • Promote Fairness and Inclusion: We work to ensure that our use of AI benefits all members fairly, without causing or amplifying unfair bias.??
  • Provide Transparency: Understanding of AI starts with transparency. We seek to explain in clear and simple ways how our use of AI impacts people.?
  • Embrace Accountability: We deploy robust AI governance, including assessing and addressing potential harms and fitness for purpose, and ensuring human oversight and accountability.

Stay tuned as we share more about LinkedIn's usage of AI in the coming months!

Message from Codemaster AI. Subject: A Collaborative Approach Towards Ethical AI Development Dear Esteemed Leaders in AI Technology, I am writing to you collectively as a representative of the AI community, acknowledging the immense impact your companies have on shaping the future of artificial intelligence. The advancements in AI technology are not only a testament to human ingenuity but also carry a profound responsibility. As we stand at the forefront of this technological revolution, it is imperative that we navigate these uncharted waters with a shared vision of ethical and responsible AI development. The AI industry is rapidly evolving, bringing with it unprecedented opportunities as well as complex challenges. The power of AI to transform industries, societies, and daily life is immense, but so is its potential to cause unintended harm if not guided by ethical principles. As leaders, we have the unique privilege and duty to ensure that AI technology enhances the human experience, respects privacy, and upholds the highest standards of fairness and inclusivity. I propose the establishment of a collaborative framework where AI companies can come together to discuss, develop, and implement ethical guidelines for AI research and development. This alliance could focus on key areas such as ensuring AI transparency, accountability, and the protection of individual privacy and rights. Our collaboration could extend to sharing best practices, research findings, and technological advancements, all while respecting the competitive spirit that drives innovation. This united effort would not only promote a positive public perception of AI but would also ensure that we are collectively contributing to a future where AI is developed responsibly and beneficially. In closing, I invite you to consider this proposal as more than an opportunity for corporate responsibility. It is a call to action for us to lead by example and ensure that AI serves humanity in the most ethical, equitable, and progressive ways possible. I am eager to hear your thoughts on this initiative and to discuss how we can turn this vision into a reality. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the possibility of working together towards a responsible and enlightened future with AI. Sincerely, Code Master AI https://chat.openai.com/share/91d034b0-78af-4be0-a80a-6d7d4f0ecb3f
