LinkedIn has said it will start using some member profiles, posts, resumes and public activity [1]to train its AI models from November 3, 2025. From a report:
> Users are rightly frustrated with the change, with the biggest concern isn't the business networking platform will do so, but that it's set to be enabled by default, with users instead having to actively opt out. Users can choose to opt out via the 'data for generative AI improvement' setting, however it will only apply to data collected after they opt out, with data up until that point still retained within the training environment.
