US EditionLinkedIn set to start to train its AI on member profiles
LinkedIn will automatically include user data such as profiles and posts to enhance AI models, with opt-out choices available but data before opting out retained, affecting millions.
- Starting November 3, 2025, LinkedIn will begin utilizing members' profiles, public posts, resumes, and activity to help develop and improve its artificial intelligence systems.
- This change follows LinkedIn updating its terms of service and privacy policy to enable data collection by default, affecting users in the EU, EEA, Canada, Switzerland, and Hong Kong.

- LinkedIn confirms data from users under 18 is excluded from AI training and states this is done to enhance user experience and connection opportunities.
- This approach could raise privacy concerns since data sharing with Microsoft and affiliates for targeted ads continues, but users retain the option to opt out of AI data use.
