"Effective Nov. 3, "we started to use some data from members in these regions to train content-generating AI models that enhance your experience and better connect our members to opportunities," LinkedIn says. "This includes data like details from your profile, and public content you post on LinkedIn; it does not include your private messages." Although it claims DMs aren't being used for training, Microsoft was sued earlier this year for doing just that. LinkedIn denies any wrongdoing."
"It does, however, use the following categories of data to train its gen AI models: Profile Data: Name, photo, current position, prior work experience, education, location, skills, certifications, licenses, volunteering experiences, publications, patents, endorsements, and recommendations. Generative AI Usage Data: Content that you enter into gen AI features. Jobs-related Data: Generic responses to screening questions and resumes that members add to their LinkedIn account for ongoing and future use. Groups Data: Group activity and group messages"
Microsoft-owned LinkedIn updated its Terms of Use to expand use of member data for training generative AI models across more regions. Effective Nov. 3, LinkedIn began using some member data from the EU, EEA, Switzerland, Canada, and Hong Kong to train content-generating AI aimed at enhancing experience and connecting members to opportunities. Data categories used include profile details, generative AI inputs, jobs-related material, group activity, posts and comments, and feedback. Private messages, login credentials, payment methods, credit cards, and member-attributable salary or job-application data are excluded. The company will not collect data from individuals under 18 in active regions.
