"When Is LinkedIn Going to Start Using My Data to Train Its AI Models? LinkedIn has announced that it will start using some of its users' data to train its AI models starting on November 3rd, 2025. Users from the EU, EEA, Switzerland, Canada, and Hong Kong will all be affected. At this stage, US users will not be affected, but this could soon change."
"With this decision, LinkedIn will join the likes of Meta, X, Reddit, and more, in harvesting user data for the training of their AI models. Memorably, Meta was instructed to stop this practice following a mandate from the UK Information Commissioner's Office. It resumed the practice not long after."
LinkedIn will begin using some users' data to train its AI models starting November 3, 2025, and the change will apply to users in the EU, EEA, Switzerland, Canada, and Hong Kong. US users are currently excluded but may be included later. The move places the company among major platforms that harvest user content for model training, including Meta, X, and Reddit. Regulatory pushback has occurred elsewhere: the UK Information Commissioner's Office previously ordered Meta to stop similar data harvesting, although Meta later resumed the practice. The decision raises cross-jurisdictional privacy and policy questions about platform data use for AI.
