Kevin Newton leads UX Measurement at LinkedIn. In this preview of his upcoming talk at Research Week, he talks about how AI is changing the researcher’s role, from writing SQL with help from chatbots to experimenting with AI agents that learn your working style.

They cover:

• How Kevin’s team is encouraging open, systematic AI experimentation

• Why curiosity, not tooling, matters most in hiring

• How personal AI agents could shift how research leaders work

• The messy, human stuff that still makes research powerful
