Alert: Here's a LinkedIn setting you might want to change. In it, LinkedIn asks this: "Can LinkedIn and its affiliates use your personal data and content you create on LinkedIn to train generative AI models that create content?"

LinkedIn states: "This setting controls the training of generative AI models used to create content. When this setting is on LinkedIn and its affiliates may use your personal data and content you create on LinkedIn for that purpose."

Some clients and students report that this setting was set to YES, while a few have said it was already set to NO. Regardless, you must check your settings to know.

Changing this setting is fast and easy.

Go to:

1. Settings
2. Data privacy
3. Data for Generative AI Improvement

If it’s ON, turn it OFF (if you choose to do so).
