LinkedIn Enhances Search with AI

LinkedIn has launched an AI-powered people search feature for premium users in the U.S. This new tool allows users to find professionals using natural language queries instead of relying on keywords and filters. Users can now type in conversational requests, such as, “Find me investors in the healthcare sector with FDA experience,” and the AI will surface relevant people.

This represents a significant upgrade to LinkedIn's search capabilities, which previously required specific job titles or company names. The AI considers the context of the query to deliver more relevant results, connecting users with the right expertise at the right time. LinkedIn plans to expand the availability of AI-powered people search in the coming months.

LinkedIn has been integrating AI across its platform for the past two years, from ad copy generation to job-hunting tools. The AI people search is the latest and most significant AI integration, enhancing one of its core functions: connecting professionals.
