Company executives are among the growing number of employees using AI for their day-to-day work.
LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslanksy said he uses AI to help him sound “super smart” in “high-stakes” emails.
The CEO said that AI is more helpful now, as it helps writers think through the writing process.

Even the LinkedIn CEO uses AI when emailing his boss.

During a fireside chat at LinkedIn’s San Francisco office on Tuesday, Ryan Roslanksy said using AI is like “having a second brain” that knows him “extremely well.” It’s why AI is helpful almost every time he sends important emails to his boss, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.

“A lot of the time when I’m sending a super high-stakes email to Satya Nadella or other CEOs or world leaders or etcetera, you’ve got to make sure you sound super smart when you do that,” Roslansky said. “So I would say that without a doubt, almost every email that I send these days is being sent with the help of Copilot,” he said, referring to Microsoft’s AI assistant.

Still, that doesn’t mean the LinkedIn chief is using AI to write the entire body of his emails.

Roslansky said Copilot is more useful to him now because the tool acts like a helper that guides him through a step-by-step process, such as asking a series of questions, to determine the direction he wants to take with his response.

“Historically, there’d be a button that said, ‘Draft the reply for me.’ And it would just try to draft the reply,” he said. “The problem is that you’re actually asking AI to make tons of decisions for you when you ask it to blindly reply to an email.”

Roslansky is far from the only boss who has adopted AI for their work.

A Gallup poll published in June found that leaders, or “managers of managers,” are using AI at twice the rate of individual contributors.

Executives across industries, from tech to retail, recently told Business Insider’s Ana Altcheck that they use AI to help with their day-to-day communications or read through documents.

“I think I use it for every important email, without a doubt, on a daily basis,” Roslansky said. “It’s awesome.”
