LinkedIn's efforts to utilize AI have led to the creation of fake profiles that clutter the platform, prompting the company to take action. These AI "coworkers," designed by MarkeTeam, posed as job seekers and presented unrealistic promises. LinkedIn clarified that fake accounts violate their terms of service and that users expect authentic profiles. The presence of these AI accounts has raised concerns about genuine professional interactions on the platform, although LinkedIn's measures are aimed at preserving user trust amid a landscape filled with algorithm-generated content.
"People expect the people and conversations they find on LinkedIn to be real. Our policies are very clear that the creation of a fake account is a violation of our terms of service."
"The #OpenToWork profiles, indicating they are looking for a job, were created by an Israeli firm to advertise its AI agents, boasting AI-generated 'headshots' and plenty of overweening ambition."
