New Delhi: LinkedIn has recently introduced an AI-powered search feature that generally enables users to find people by just describing who they are looking for in their business or enterprise. Now, instead of searching for an exact name, job title, or company, users can enter a more descriptive search, such as Northwestern alumni who work in entertainment marketing or even pose a question.
LinkedIn will use an AI to surface the best matches for their query. LinkedIn senior director of product management Rohan Rajiv states in some sources that the platform will rank results based on the connections a user might have with someone, as well as their relevance to their search. LinkedIn launched an AI-enhanced job search in May, enabling people to look for job openings by describing their ideal career.
Extending AI to people search should make it more straightforward to find someone who can help users with the particular task, or if the users are looking for a potential connection in the field they are interested in. LinkedIn is rolling out an AI-powered people search to Premium users in the US recently, but the platform plans to bring it to all users soon.
