LinkedIn makes it easier to find people who use AI

LinkedIn is launching an AI-powered search feature that lets you find people by describing the people you’re looking for. Now, instead of searching for the exact name, job title, or company, you can enter a more descriptive search, such as “Northwestern University alumni who work in entertainment marketing,” or even ask a question, such as “Who can help me understand the U.S. work visa system?”

From there, LinkedIn will use AI to surface the best matches for your query. says Rohan Rajeev, senior director of product management at LinkedIn Edge The platform will rank results based on the relationships you may have with someone, as well as how relevant they are to your search.

LinkedIn has launched its AI-powered job search service in May, allowing people to search for job opportunities by describing their ideal career. Extending AI to people searching would make it much easier to find someone who might be able to help you with a particular task, or if you’re looking for a potential connection in an area of ​​interest to you.

LinkedIn is rolling out its AI-powered people search to Premium users in the US starting today, but the platform plans to bring it to all users soon.
