Microsoft and affiliates (not OpenAI) are secretly using your LinkedIn data to train AI models — Here's how to opt out of the experience

LinkedIn.

What you need to know

• LinkedIn quietly shipped a new feature dubbed Data for Generative AI Improvement. This feature leverages your data in the employment-focused social network to train Microsoft and its affiliates' AI models.
• The feature is enabled by default, but you can turn it off via the Data Privacy settings on the web and mobile.
• EU, EEA, and Switzerland users have been exempted from the controversial feature, presumably because of the EU AI Act's stringent rules.
