LinkedIn is a professional networking platform that helps people manage their careers and helps companies find and hire talent. It works by letting users create free profiles to showcase work experience and skills, while employers post jobs and use recruiting tools. The platform makes money mainly from Talent Solutions (recruiting tools for employers), Marketing Solutions (targeted ads for professionals), and Premium Subscriptions (for individuals with enhanced features like advanced search, InMail, and access to LinkedIn Learning). It differs from competitors by hosting a massive global network of professionals, offering integrated hiring and marketing tools, and providing an interconnected set of services (jobs, learning, and professional insights) through a freemium model and Microsoft integration. The goal is to connect professionals, support career development, and enable business opportunities by expanding the professional network and the related economy (economic graph).

↑ 1%Yiwen Wu, an artist-innovator combining generative AI with 3D visual arts, has unveiled two proprietary technology systems and an academic paper aimed at transforming 3D content production across film, gaming, virtual reality, and digital marketing. The Deep Learning-Based 3D Digital Art Generation and Intelligent Rendering System uses deep-learning models to convert creative inputs into production-ready 3D assets. The AI-Based Automatic 3D Visual Content Generation and Interactive Design Platform enables real-time human-AI co-creation, allowing artists to interactively refine automated content. Wu's systems integrate neural radiance fields, 3D Gaussian splatting, and diffusion-based generation into end-to-end workflows. Her accompanying paper, *Creative Innovation Research on the Integration of Artificial Intelligence Technology and 3D Visual Art*, examines how AI is reshaping creative work. Wu emphasises augmentation over replacement, stating: "AI is not here to replace artists; it's here to amplify their capabilities.
LinkedIn has flagged over one million AI-generated posts through its new "seems like AI slop" button in just two weeks since launch. The feature allows users to report suspected AI content, resulting in a 40% reduction in views for flagged posts. Chief Product Officer Hari Srinivasan acknowledged more work is needed to maintain authentic content on the platform. Research shows LinkedIn faces particular challenges with AI content. Startup Pangram found over 40% of LinkedIn's longform posts were completely AI-generated, making it "the most AI-saturated platform" among text-based social media sites. The issue extends across the internet. Cloudflare reported that AI web traffic has surpassed human users for the first time, with bots now accounting for 61.9% of search requests. A Pew Research Centre study found 10% of webpages showed significant signs of AI authorship in July 2026. LinkedIn will expand verification features and remove its AI post enhancement tool.
LinkedIn is closing its Tel Aviv development centre and laying off nearly all of its roughly 50 employees. A small number will remain temporarily to handle ongoing business activities. The Microsoft-owned company opened the office in 2022 after acquiring Oribi, an Israel-based analytics startup founded by Iris Shoor, for an estimated $80 million to $90 million. At the time, LinkedIn said Oribi's technology would improve campaign attribution and measure website conversions. A LinkedIn spokesperson said the company is proposing changes to some roles to focus its teams on top priorities. The closure comes as Microsoft cuts costs, including a recent move to lay off 9,000 employees, though available information does not directly tie the Israel layoffs to broader restructuring.
LinkedIn is rolling out a new feature for premium business subscribers that allows them to offer paid one-to-one advice sessions directly from their profiles. The tool, called Advice Sessions, enables followers to book and pay for consultations without leaving the platform. Derek Notman, founder of Intrepid Wealth Partners, said the feature could be particularly valuable for financial advisers seeking growth through new client connections. "It allows me to offer whatever services I want and get paid for it," Notman said. The launch comes as North American wealth managers have enjoyed annual growth rates of about 10% in assets under management over the past decade, though only 30% of that growth was organic, with the rest mainly attributable to market performance.
Microsoft has unified its advertising businesses under SVP Matt Derella, who now oversees both Microsoft Advertising and LinkedIn Ads. The combined search and LinkedIn advertising business generates over $20 billion in annual revenue. Derella, who previously led LinkedIn's global ad sales, will maintain the units as separate operations whilst identifying shared capabilities and best practices. The restructuring follows the departure of Microsoft Advertising leader Kya Sainsbury-Carter in May. Derella outlined plans to leverage Microsoft's billion-plus monthly users across Xbox, Bing, MSN and Activision. He emphasised adapting to AI-driven search, noting that brand building is increasingly crucial as large language models reshape discovery. LinkedIn is the most-cited source for professional queries, according to Profound and Semrush. The company is also exploring expanded advertising on Xbox beyond gaming categories.
