How to opt out of LinkedIn's 'improve the content-generating AI'

Starting on November 3, 2025, 'LinkedIn will also start to use data from members in your region to improve the content-generating AI that enhances your experience and better connects our members to opportunities'. See here for the explanation.

This, LinkedIn claims, can help hirers find and reach you more easily, and assist members in creating content such as profile updates, messages, and posts.

This data could include data like details from your profile and public content you create on LinkedIn, though it does not (yet) include your private messages. In fact, it is just another obtruse way of saying: I will gather your personal data and do unknown things with it.

You can opt out via your settings if you’d prefer not to have your data used in this way.

How to opt out
- Hit your profile photo (Me)
- Open 'Settings & Privacy'
- Goto 'Data Privacy' (on the left)
- Hit 'Data for Generative AI Improvement'
- Switch off 'Use my data for training content creation AI models'
