Long before ChatGPT, there was UNIVAC, the original “prediction machine.”
On November 4, 1952, UNIVAC I, a 16,000-pound computer, made history when CBS used it to predict the outcome of the U.S. presidential election. And it was right.
Today, our predictions come from algorithms, dashboards and LinkedIn analytics, but the goal is the same: to forecast what’s coming next.
Every November, as the year winds down, companies make their own forecasts — planning budgets, projects and new hires for the coming year. The algorithms that drive job boards and recruiting tools are crunching those numbers, too. For job seekers, it’s a moment to think like a data scientist and position yourself where the market’s moving.
