Sep 18, 2024, 01:52 PM
LinkedIn has updated its AI training policy to use user data for training its own AI models, as well as those of Microsoft and OpenAI, without explicit user consent. This update, which occurred 7 days ago, has been enabled by default. Users have noticed a new setting related to generative AI, prompting concerns about privacy and data usage. LinkedIn has stated that it will update its terms of service shortly. The policy change has drawn comparisons to similar practices by Meta and X. Additionally, there are questions about which other entities beyond Microsoft and OpenAI have access to this data. Users can opt out of this policy through the settings.
