LinkedIn Is Making It Easier To Search For People With AI

(Thursday November 13, 2025 @05:50PM (BeauHD) from the descriptive-search dept.)


LinkedIn is [1]rolling out an AI-powered people search tool that [2]lets users find connections by describing what they need instead of relying on names or titles. For example, you can enter a more descriptive search, such as "Northwestern alumni who work in entertaining marketing," or even pose a question, like "Who can help me understand the US work visa system." The Verge reports:

> LinkedIn senior director of product management Rohan Rajiv tells The Verge that the platform will rank results based on the connections you might have with someone, as well as their relevance to your search. [...] LinkedIn is rolling out AI-powered people search to Premium users in the US starting today, but the platform plans on bringing it to all users soon.

Language pastoring and search is not AI.

It's not even close to AI.

Parsing. Not pastoring.

Fucking autocorrection.

Find me someone that has all the keys to the kingdom at BigCorp so I can setup a honeypot that can be used to pressure them into switching RMM providers that is totally not at all controlled by a hostile intelligence service.

Let's call it an accidental feature.
