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.
