AI and the Future of Work: LinkedIn’s Blake Lawit on Skills, Hiring, and Competitiveness
Description
On this episode of the Washington AI Network Podcast, host Tammy Haddad sits down with Blake Lawit, chief global affairs and legal officer at LinkedIn, for a data-driven look at how AI is reshaping the U.S. workforce.
Lawit discusses LinkedIn’s new report, “Skills and AI: The U.S. Workforce Imperative,” including why the U.S. ranks 24th globally in AI adoption, what LinkedIn’s data shows (and doesn’t show yet) about AI-driven job loss, and why the bigger story is rapid job transformation—skills required for roles shifting dramatically by 2030. He also explains LinkedIn’s push toward skills-first hiring, verified identity, and verified skills, and why creativity, judgment, and communication will matter even more as AI tools become mainstream.
