What you'll learn

Tell real signal from AI slop

How LinkedIn's leaders separate genuine skill and substance from AI-generated noise, in work and in hiring.

Build and ship trustworthy AI at scale

What it takes to ship AI a billion members rely on, and the trust and evaluation an enterprise puts behind it.

Evaluate human vs AI capability

Where people still have the edge and where the model wins, for individual builders and whole teams.

What gives builders and teams an edge

The durable skills and signals that stand out when any person, and any org, can produce output on demand.

Why this topic matters

AI made it trivial to produce output at any scale. The hard part now, for a solo builder and an enterprise alike, is standing out and knowing what's real. LinkedIn's CPO will share how they build and ship trustworthy AI across a platform serving over a billion members, how they separate genuine skill from AI slop, and what gives builders and teams a durable edge
