AI's impact on the Future of Work
LinkedIn State of AI report and PWC to train 75,000 employees on AI
LinkedIn recently published its first “State of AI” report from LinkedIn data. Here are the five key takeaways on the profound impact AI is having on the workforce, particularly the accelerating shift in required skills:
1. The majority of LinkedIn members have experienced a 25% change in their jobs over the past eight years, a pace that is expected to grow to 65% by 2030, driven by AI.
2. 92% of US executives agree that people skills are more important than ever. In-demand skills since November 2022 are Flexibility +158%, Professional ethics +120%, Social perceptiveness +118%, and Self-management +83%.
3. Since ChatGPT's introduction, there has been a significant increase in U.S. job postings asking for soft skills that complement AI, like flexibility, professional ethics, and communication, indicating a move towards human-centric AI adoption.
4. The share of global job postings mentioning GPT or ChatGPT increased 21x since November 2022.
5. Almost half of U.S. executives believe that “using generative AI will increase productivity” and 40% think that using generative AI will help unlock more revenue opportunities in the next year.
This convergence of technology and human skills underscores the importance of adaptive learning and strategic investment in AI-related development.

"We want all of our people to be skilled on AI enough that they can have a conversation with the client — whether or not you're an associate or an experienced partner — so that you can identify opportunities for us to be able to go in and support that client and that AI transformation, as well as to be able to support the firm itself," Shannon Schuyler, US chief purpose and inclusion officer at PwC, told Insider.
