How LinkedIn Turns AI Breakthroughs into member and customer value

As state-of-the-art models become more accessible, how a company differentiates itself is shifting from the model itself to the systems around it. Nearly a decade ago, LinkedIn saw an opportunity to combine the unique signals of the Economic Graph with advances in AI to create more value for members and customers. Now, that continues today, enriching the LinkedIn experience with deeper discovery, better knowledge and insights, and improved interactions and community. Realizing that opportunity required rethinking the systems underneath LinkedIn, from our data and infrastructure to how we build and deploy AI at scale. In this session, Erran will discuss how owning the full stack allows LinkedIn to optimize everything from the application layer all the way down to the kernel running on the GPU, and how that approach has enabled us to optimize the stack to help deliver increasingly sophisticated AI experiences for our members and customers, while remaining disciplined in how we grow our infrastructure.
