“Jobs are changing all around you even if you aren’t changing jobs,” says Aneesh Raman. He’s a vice president at LinkedIn and head of the company’s Opportunity Project, which is focused on building a more dynamic and equitable global labor market. Raman knows a little something about changing jobs—he formerly worked as a CNN war correspondent and as a speechwriter for President Obama.
In this episode, Raman breaks down the significance of key findings from LinkedIn’s research on how generative AI is changing work. He also shares invaluable insights on how technology will create expanded economic opportunities for people without standard career paths and educational backgrounds.
Raman is the fourth guest for season 5 of Microsoft’s WorkLab podcast, in which host Molly Wood has conversations with economists, technologists, and researchers who explore the data and insights about the work trends you need to know today—from how to use AI effectively to what it takes to thrive in our new world of work.
Three big takeaways from the conversation:
WorkLab is a place for experts to share their insights and opinions. As students of the future of work, Microsoft values inputs from a diverse set of voices. That said, the opinions and findings of the experts we interview are their own and do not reflect Microsoft’s own research or opinions.
