LinkedIn really wants to use your data to train its AI — so much so that you've been automatically opted in (if you're in the US).

That setting is for data used to train generative AI models, but LinkedIn has other machine learning tools at work for things like personalization and moderation that don’t generate content. To opt your data out of being used to train those, you’ll have to also fill out the LinkedIn Data Processing Objection Form.

LinkedIn has been scraping users’ personal data to train AI models without making necessary changes to its privacy policy at the outset. The Microsoft-owned platform only recently updated its terms of service to reflect its data harvesting process, according to a report by 404 Media.
