LinkedIn is training AI models on your data

If you’re on LinkedIn, then you should know that the social network has, without asking, opted accounts into training generative AI models. 404Media reports that LinkedIn introduced the new privacy setting and opt-out form before rolling out an updated privacy policy saying that data from the platform is being used to train AI models. As TechCrunch notes, it has since updated the policy.

You’ll need to opt-out twice to prevent LinkedIn from using your account data for training in the future, but anything already done is done.

The FAQ posted for its AI training says it uses “privacy enhancing technologies to redact or remove personal data” from its training sets, and that it doesn’t train its models on those who live in the EU, EEA, or Switzerland.
