Does OpenAI have the potential to replace LinkedIn? Their latest project.

I often hear that LinkedIn is starting to be cringe, becoming a second Facebook, but let’s be honest: it’s still a career platform. A little cringe, but it still is.

On the other hand, Sam Altman introduced a new ambition – OpenAI Jobs Platform – an AI-powered hiring platform, expected to launch by mid-2026.

Briefly:

• The platform will match businesses with employees, including small businesses and governments.

• OpenAI Academy will offer AI certifications, piloting in late 2025, aiming for 10M Americans by 2030.

• The aim is to expand AI literacy and help workers adapt to AI-driven job changes.

• OpenAI partners with Walmart and engages with the White House on AI programs.

Do you think that OpenAI's effort will overshadow LinkedIn?

I am curious what you think about that.
