LinkedIn CEO says almost every 'super high stakes' email he sends is written with AI's help (www.businessinsider.com)

LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky said he uses Microsoft's Copilot as a "second brain" to help craft almost every "super high‑stakes" email he sends — including messages to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. He emphasized that Copilot no longer just spits out a full reply; instead it guides him through a step‑by‑step process (asking targeted questions and shaping tone and direction) so he stays in control of content while benefiting from AI’s ability to refine phrasing and structure. The admission underscores broader executive adoption of AI across industries: a Gallup poll shows managers of managers use AI at roughly twice the rate of individual contributors. Technically, this reflects a shift from blind auto‑drafting to interactive, personalized assistance that encodes user preferences and context, accelerating high‑stakes communications while keeping a human‑in‑the‑loop. The trend boosts productivity and elevates expectations for professional writing, but also raises considerations about privacy, corporate policy, and reliance on AI for critical decision framing.
