The Future of Work: A Fireside Chat with Industry Leaders from LinkedIn and OpenAI

The evolving landscape of AI is marked by increasing generality, scalability, and advanced reasoning capabilities—trends exemplified by OpenAI’s "O series" models, which demonstrate the potential for AI to "think" before responding. In remarks by Noam Brown, Researcher at OpenAI, the discussion highlighted two key AI paradigms—pre-training and reasoning—and how models improve as they process more data and compute. These technical advances are not only accelerating model performance but also reshaping the strategic and economic dynamics of AI infrastructure.

Complementing this, discussions led by OpenAI’s Chief Economist Ronnie Chatterji and Forum members explored how AI intersects with geopolitics, national security, and economic policy. They examined the balance between democratic and autocratic approaches to AI development, the implications for global alliances, and how AI infrastructure investments influence both economic and military strategy. Together, these conversations underscore the dual trajectory of AI: accelerating technical progress and deepening its role in global policy, infrastructure, and institutional governance.
