Published by Webster

There are several flavors of the trend being shared. The “AI Action Figure” variant appears to have gained the most traction, in which a person generates a plastic version of themselves in a blister pack, alongside various accessories — typically a laptop, a book, and a coffee cup, which is fitting given LinkedIn is largely driving this trend. Other versions try to specifically emulate recognizable branding, such as the “Barbie Box Challenge.” While the trend started on LinkedIn, it’s since started to leak over to other social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. It hasn’t taken off to anywhere near the extent that the Ghibli art craze did, however, which is still outperforming every AI Barbie/action figure/doll term I could think of in Google’s Search rankings.

Published by Webster

Image: YuriArcursPeopleimages/Envato Elements There are some sobering statistics in the wake of International Women’s Day: Although women comprise nearly half of the global workforce (43.4%), less than one-third are in roles at the vice president level and above, according to newly-released LinkedIn data. Even though top-level management representation among women has grown between 2015 and 2024 from 27.5% to 30.4%, progress has slowed down, LinkedIn found. There has only been an insignificant 0.2% increase since 2002.
