Done!
LI is evolving as a platform. Starting off as a predominantly business even recruitment hiring network. Now not necessarily driven yet not stopped by LI users are trying to use it for other things thats gets muddled with other social platforms imo. But thats the risk with its open user base. People want the exposure. It would be great to pull back to business, people skills, development and sharing of learning plus a job network. But may not pay.....
Thanks for sharing this Luiza Jarovsky, PhD. Clear guidance on controlling personal data usage for AI training is essential. Opting out empowers users to protect privacy while still benefiting from AI features responsibly.
Yep, the AI use of data for training, was on by default. I just turned it off. Again, Microsoft this should be an explicit request and not a new default setting.
Fyi can't do it on your phone
I don’t get it. What changed? This was introduced along time ago and I have already turned it off. What’s changing now? I’m seeing posts float around about a new deadline to do something…
Nothing is free.
Thank you!!!
I'm always amazed companies like MSFT can force European users to opt out... even though GDPR explicitly requires "opt in" decisions !? CNIL - Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés Félicien Vallet
