YOUR DATA is being used to train LinkedIn’s AI model!

LinkedIn has come under scrutiny for allegedly using user data to train its artificial intelligence (AI) models without adequately informing its users. This controversial move sparked a wave of criticism, leading LinkedIn to update its privacy policy to reflect its data practices.

In this video, we break down the key points of the issue:

- LinkedIn’s updated privacy policy now acknowledges that user data is being used for AI training, and offers an opt-out setting for users.
- Users opting out will prevent their data from being used in future AI training, but data collected prior to the opt-out will remain in use.
- Concerns have been raised by privacy advocates and industry experts, including Shiva Nathan, founder and CEO of Onymos, who emphasizes the importance of consent and transparency when it comes to using personal data for AI.
- While the US lacks federal laws governing AI data collection, LinkedIn has suspended data collection for generative AI in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the UK due to stricter privacy regulations.

We also discuss how LinkedIn's actions are part of a larger debate on data privacy and AI, with other companies like Zoom and Peloton facing similar issues. Join us as we explore the implications of this case and what it means for user privacy in the age of AI.
