LinkedIn Celebrates National AI in Work Day to Help...

The rise of AI and new ways of working is transforming the workplace - and with it, growing uncertainty. Today, 41% of global professionals say they feel overwhelmed by how quickly they're expected to "get" AI. The pace of change isn't slowing down, and expectations are evolving just as fast. It's no longer just about trying AI; it's about learning how to use it confidently to stay ahead.

To support professionals in this moment of transformation, LinkedIn is hosting AI in Work Day on September 30, dedicated to helping professionals build AI fluency and future-proof their careers.

Special Report: Guide to Future-Proofing Your Career: This data-driven guide offers career paths, learning recommendations, and member stories backed by exclusive LinkedIn insights. Key insights include:

• AI is Evolving Work - Fast. AI is rewriting roles in real time, prompting the emergence of new jobs and transforming existing ones. Roles in fields like Media & Comms, Marketing, HR, Engineering, and Arts & Design are seeing the biggest shifts as core tasks like writing, analyzing data and coding are increasingly supported by AI. But it's not about replacement - it's about evolution.

• AI is Accelerating Continuous Learning. From drafting emails to analyzing sales data, AI is already taking on routine tasks and freeing up time for more strategic, creative and human-centered work. It's also accelerating learning - LinkedIn data shows a 140% uptick in new skills added to profiles and a 40% broader skillset compared to 2018. AI literacy itself is the fastest-growing skill, doubling YoY.
  

• Explore Where You Can Accelerate or Pivot. In today's tough labor market, professionals are finding new ways to grow. Many are learning new skills and making strategic pivots - engineers moving into education, marketers into program management, or accountants into operations. These transitions aren't about being left behind - they're about moving toward what's next.
  

• The Human Edge Still Matters. Nearly 4 in 5 global professionals believe that no matter how advanced AI gets, there's no substitute for human intuition, judgment and trusted colleagues. Skills like adaptability, stakeholder management and innovative thinking are growing fast, and they'll remain differentiators in an AI-powered world.
