Many people think of artificial intelligence (AI) as a completely automated process with no human input, but much of the data used by AI systems and many of the ways these systems are deployed are reliant on human input. In fact, despite fears that AI may replace human beings in the digital workplace, it is more likely that humans and machines will work together. People and machines are entering a new era of learning in which AI augments ordinary intelligence and helps people realize their full potential, according to Deepak Agarwal who heads machine learning and AI at LinkedIn. Take the example of profile data, he said. At a fundamental level, almost all of LinkedIn's member data is generated by members themselves.
