LinkedIn is adding more AI features to its platform, including the ability to suggest text for a user's profile. The company is also testing an AI tool that speeds up the process of writing job descriptions, it said.
- The first tool can analyze a user's profile for experiences and skills and suggest personalized copy.
- The generations suggest text specifically for the "about" and "headline" sections near the top of a user's profile.
- Testing of that tool starts this week among LinkedIn's Premium subscribers.
- The company will expand access to all its paid subscribers in the coming months.
- The second tool aims to make the creation of job descriptions "faster and easier" to "streamline" the hiring process.
- Hiring managers will input basic details about a role, and the AI tool will generate a draft job description for further editing.
- The tools leverage OpenAI's GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 models, according to LinkedIn, which said it would adhere to its own Responsible AI Principles as it adds the technologies.
- The company said it's also adding more than 100 additional LinkedIn Learning AI, including 20 new generative AI courses, to help its users "gain a competitive edge" in the rapidly-shifting market. The classes will be free through June 15, 2023.
- LinkedIn also recently introduced "collaborative articles" that link "AI-powered conversation starters" with subject experts who can contribute advice and tips.
