LinkedIn Tapping Personal Data for AI Training

Security experts and consumers alike are quite concerned about recent revisions to LinkedIn's data gathering policy. The platform now permits the training of AI models using user-generated content - without explicit user authorisation. Many believe their right to privacy is being violated by this lack of transparency.

Businesses must put user awareness and consent first as AI continues to transform our online experiences. Consumers should be informed in a transparent and honest manner about how their data is used. In addition to building trust, this gives people the power to decide for themselves what privacy means.

Users on LinkedIn have expressed their dissatisfaction and called attention to the necessity for data practices to be transparent. Companies need to make sure consumers are aware of their rights and may readily opt out of data sharing when they so want in order to foster a safer online environment.


If you have a LinkedIn account, do verify that you have updated the settings in accordance with your preferences on how your personal data can be used.
