A digital representation of the global economy.
Everyone’s talking about artificial intelligence (AI). As of March, there were 36x as many posts on LinkedIn mentioning Generative AI compared to a year ago. For the world of work, this is just the beginning of a paradigm shift. Hear from LinkedIn’s Aneesh Raman on why this conversation brings new urgency to the need for everyone to adopt a skills-first mindset.

A.I is a most interesting and trending topic. A main challenge/problem of A I remains that it is bias (not balanced). By nature humans have bias, belief systems, preferences, and and such. This is written in and reflected in the A.I code. As per tech entrepreneur Elon Musk quote "AI can be trained to lie"). A Musk developed AI will be different to a ChatGPT, will differ to a Bing etc. The flow on effect. Humans are the programmers and developers (at least at this stage of the game!). I have my bias and I'm the first to admit it. Man/human over machine. The machine to serve man. Not mankind to be a slave to the machine and The Internet Matrix Of Things. Higher Power in the struggle with the "God Of Machines" ala Ex Machina or Dues ex Machina! Love of machines! Einstein vs Nikolas Tesla elements on God, algorithms and much more. The business of just about everything including technology platforms and commercial news media I hope this makes sense to the readership. Maintaining the balance between the commercial and tech world and that of Mother Nature. A public thank you to LinkedIn powers that be for hosting this discussion.

Here’s how every social media company is adopting subscriptions (TechCrunch)
For the longest time, social media companies have relied on the fact that their service is “free” to use. All these companies banked on showing ads and getting some user data in return to let them use social networks without any charge. Now with declining revenues and tough global economic conditions, social networks are resorting to offering subscriptions in one way or another. These paid plans can unlock features ranging from vanity checkmarks to exclusive stickers to increase reach and more.

TechCrunch's Ivan with an excellent feature article on online based subscriptions. Numerous valid points. The world's financial markets and most companies/firms and people looking more closely at their budget and spend resulted in quite the perfect storm.. Decades ago I heard an example based on tech/software giant, Microsoft (which these days has a stake in LinkedIn) - the "cocaine model" i.e: if you want the really good stuff you have to pay! Get it! There can be free subscriptions as well as paid subscriptions. Then there's licenses - be it 1, 2, 3 or lifetime deals, and so it goes on. Streaming entertainment has also adopted some of the principles, be it Binge, Netflix or YouTube (with or without ads), and so it goes on. Games: X-Box and/or PlayStation did and I understand still are doing some subscription based deals. Salesforce, the CRM system has a subscription/license type offering. At this moment we've got a free of charge news service, with selective promos and advertising online, plus we also help promote others goods and services, including press release services, streaming media services, event promotions, MBS, I.T, branded merch for various companies and much more. It's all about sustainable business models.

Flexibility through freelancing
By Salma Altantawy, Editor at LinkedIn News
Flexible work solutions are increasingly in demand as younger professionals enter the workforce. A report by Michael Page Middle East Recruitment Agency shows that 66% of survey respondents are prioritizing remote options while they look for a job in the UAE. Aiming for more flexibility, some professionals opt for taking on freelance jobs, which separates professionals' identity from an organization, Azeem Zainulbhai, co-founder of a flexible talent consultancy told Arab News. “This has reduced the attractiveness of permanent employment and the lifetime loyalty often given by employees among older generations,” he added.

CNN's Allison covers the remote worker sector. Not all are well suited for it, be it lack of skills, lack of discipline, lack of focus, and and so on.. Sometimes both owner/manager and their staff need to check in that both and all parties are on the same page. I've managed media firms, a restaurant (with a home delivery driver..who I had to fire on the second shift) and a small team of PPV and Ethnic Channel Pay TV guns, who came from door to door to an office based outbound call scenario. All situations have their own unique challenges. Both parties need to want it to work in order for it to, in my experience. These days my main I.T guy is right on the money 90% of the time, and I haven't needed to see him in person in the office for months. He earned my trust and respect over the months which turned into years. Teamwork and the desire to do better and keep focused on the business goals while adapting to the regular changes in the business landscape. Success. #cnn #work #workplace #remotework #remoteworkers #careers #management #workenvironment #training #multiskilled #multiskilling #success #media
Arabian Business on remote working. With some of my own commentary on sports, culture, business, property and the like re the UAE, sometimes it feels like I'm remote working in a remote news media office. I'm not on the payrol of Arabian Business for the record and to be clear, but from my office I get to cover the world's news and affairs, currently based in Australia! The world is your oyster, now on another level with the internet, social media et al. Commentary via our friends via the LinkedIn platform! PS: my post sparked by recent and excellent coverage of the WWE (wrestling promotion) coverage by Arabian Business. #arabianbusiness #ab #uae #uaebusiness #uaebusinesses #remote #remoteworking #work #careers #workspace #employment #trends #culture #balance #flexibleworkspace #respect #performance #marketing #culture #b2b #b2c #social #socialmedia #world #agency #business #media
