Is AI coming for your job? explains LinkedIn’s Aneesh Raman
Is AI coming for your job? Aneesh Raman, Economic Opportunity Officer at LinkedIn, has an unexpected answer: that’s not the right question. In this candid conversation with Aishwarya Khosla, of the Indian Express, Aneesh — a former war correspondent and presidential speechwriter — cuts through the fear and fatalism surrounding AI. He argues that the work we’re afraid of losing isn’t work that ever let us bring our best as humans. He explains a simple 3-bucket method to figure out if AI is coming for your work, practical first steps for anyone feeling afraid (including a 30-60-90 day plan) and the 5 human C’s that no machine can replace: Curiosity, Compassion, Courage, Creativity, Communication. About the guest: Aneesh Raman is the Economic Opportunity Officer at LinkedIn and co-author (with LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky) of Open to Work: How to Get Ahead in the Age of AI. He was previously a war correspondent for CNN, a speechwriter for President Barack Obama, a Harvard graduate, and a Fulbright Scholar.
