LinkedIn is the latest company to use your data to train generative AI models. If you’re concerned about your personal information being used in this way, here’s how you can disable AI training on your LinkedIn account.
### How to Opt Out of LinkedIn AI Training
LinkedIn uses the personal data and content you create on its platform to train generative AI models. Fortunately, you have the option to opt out of this data usage by adjusting a setting in your account.
Follow these steps to disable AI training on LinkedIn:
1. Log in to your LinkedIn account.
2. Click your profile picture in the top right corner.
3. Select **Settings & Privacy** from the dropdown menu.
4. On the left sidebar, click **Data Privacy**.
5. Find the option labeled **Data for Generative AI Improvement**.
6. Toggle the switch next to **Use my data for training content creation AI models** to the **off** position.
### Important Note
LinkedIn provides a detailed help page explaining how it uses generative AI models to create content. It’s important to understand that turning off AI training will prevent the use of your data going forward, but it does **not** affect any training that has already been conducted using your information.
By following these steps, you can better control how your data is used on LinkedIn and protect your privacy when it comes to AI training.
