LinkedIn has been using user data to train AI models without explicit consent. Users can now opt out of this practice through a new privacy setting.
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.
Turn it to “off” to opt-out. According to LinkedIn: “Opting out means that LinkedIn and its affiliates won’t use your personal data or content on LinkedIn to train models going forward, but does not affect training that has already taken place.” 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.
