The data collected for the Generative AI Improvement program is used to “improve or develop the LinkedIn services,” LinkedIn said.

LinkedIn really wants to use your data to train its AI — so much so that you've been automatically opted in (if you're in the US).

That setting is for data used to train generative AI models, but LinkedIn has other machine learning tools at work for things like personalization and moderation that don’t generate content. To opt your data out of being used to train those, you’ll have to also fill out the LinkedIn Data Processing Objection Form.
