LinkedIn News

🚨 Welcome back to LinkedIn News Tech Stack 🚨 AI comes with a hefty price tag – not just because of how expensive it is to actually train and run AI models, but also due to its considerable environmental impact. Last week, Google revealed that its greenhouse gas emissions have jumped nearly 50% over the past five years — because the data centers it uses to power AI and other applications are using more power than ever before. Emissions are just one part of the equation in AI's soaring environmental costs. The technology is also known to have a voracious appetite for both energy and water. With AI only growing in scale and scope, tech companies, investors like Aaron Jacobson and startups including Etched are trying to balance its promises with its environmental footprint, investing in areas like renewable energy sources and energy-efficient processing.

What's one thing you wish was in the job description, but never is? This is why it’s important to read between the lines vs. what’s on paper when job searching, says Aditi Javeri Gokhale, Strategic Advisor at Northwestern Mutual. Don’t just look at the job at hand. “Ask the person you’re working for and the team what success looks like, because that’s not on paper,” she told LinkedIn News at the Milken Institute Global Conference. Other things that are extremely important, according to Gokhale: ✅ Impact the role will create ✅ The culture of the company ✅ The value system of the company ✅ The people #MIGlobal 🎬 Autumn Noel Kelly Madeleine Ptacin

It’s time to rethink how we hire. JPMorganChase CEO Jamie Dimon has a major suggestion for how to do it: 👉🏻 Open up the talent pool by recruiting people straight out of high school. “If you want to help society and help yourselves, get these kids in 10th, 11th, and 12th grade with skills that get them a good job,” Dimon explains. Schools should start including topics “you don't traditionally teach in high school,” like financial and program management, suggests Dimon, in order to set young adults up for well-paying jobs sooner. “It's great for society. It's great for lower income. It's great for the companies.” What other changes would you like to see with talent acquisition?

What’s stopping you from charging more $$$ for your services? “I was afraid to be worth that much. I was afraid of the responsibility. I was afraid of seeing myself in that way, that my work was worth $1,500 or more,” says Rachel Rodgers, CEO of Hello Seven. “I think a lot of women and people of color have that fear. It seems easier and less scary to charge less, but we put ourselves in situations where we then are destitute, or our business or income is not sustainable because we are not charging what we should be charging.” The way forward? Ask for what you actually want. Watch the full episode of #Catalyst: https://lnkd.in/gZPZs5Xe

The use of generative artificial intelligence at work doubled in the first half of 2024, according to recent research from Microsoft and LinkedIn. With an estimated one out of every ten jobs in the U.S. facing disruption due to AI advancements, it’s no surprise many workers are looking to stay ahead of the curve. Across more than 20 job functions polled in LinkedIn’s latest Workforce Confidence survey, product managers are the most likely U.S. professionals to report they leverage AI products such as ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot regularly. Marketers, consultants, human resource professionals and engineers follow as the workers most likely to be using AI on the job. There are several roles, however, where AI tools are still unlikely to be a part of workers’ day-to-day. Those working in military and protective services, law, quality assurance, administrative services and healthcare services are the least likely to be using AI on a daily or weekly basis. Do these findings line up with what you’d expect? Are you leveraging AI in your current role, and if so, how are you using it? ✍️: Rachel Cromidas 📊: Allie Lewis, Bud Rashidian
