In this powerful AMEC AI Day session, uncover how AI is reshaping LinkedIn visibility, recruitment, and career opportunities often without you even realising it.

Key Takeaways: How the LinkedIn algorithm and AI models rank your profile Why professionals are facing “invisible opportunity loss” The biggest risks: invisibility, misclassification, and authority drift What Authority Intelligence is and why it matters now Practical steps to optimise your profile for AI discovery and credibility Perfect for: communication professionals, marketers, executives, job seekers, and anyone building a personal brand in the age of AI.
