Artificial intelligence remains in its early days of adoption, but it has a transformative potential to boost worker productivity across sectors, according to LinkedIn's principal economist and head of macroeconomics, Guy Berger.
Data suggests employers are clamoring to explore the nascent technology, with the number of jobs on LinkedIn mentioning"GPT" up 51% from 2021 to 2022. And in the week leading up to March 20, the number of postings mentioning generative AI keywords in the US saw a 38% weekly jump, and a 138% increase year over year.
First is the rise of short-term contract work, which suggests firms want flexibility amid uncertainty, Berger said.
