This paradigm shift forces both companies and professionals to adapt. LinkedIn data reveals that 70% of the skills currently in demand in most positions will have changed by 2030."

The LinkedIn team recommends that professionals "get ahead of trends by acquiring the skills in highest demand or perfecting those they already have."

Claude AI tool also launches real-time internet searches

One of the main generative artificial intelligence tools, Claude, from the company Anthropic, has announced that it can now be used to perform real-time internet searches, allowing it to "offer more up-to-date and relevant answers."

For now, this option is available in a preview version for paying users in the United States, but will soon be available to free users and those in other countries around the world.

With the real-time web search feature, the Claude AI assistant fully enters into competition with tools such as ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity, or Gemini (Google), which also offer this service.

When Claude incorporates information it has found on the web into its responses, it provides direct citations so users can easily verify the sources used.

Thus, as other tools already do, Claude now processes information found on the web and offers it in a conversational format.

To use real-time web searches, users must activate web search in their profile settings and start a conversation with Claude 3.7 Sonnet, and when appropriate, Claude will search the internet in real time to formulate its response.

One of Claude's features is that it allows users to customize the response style, letting them choose in their profile whether they want a normal, concise, explanatory, or formal style in the responses.
