LinkedIn is reportedly removing artificial intelligence (AI) prompts it was previously displaying on its platform. These AI prompts would appear on the feed of Premium users, nudging them to use the service’s AI features. However, several users have stated that these prompts have not been visible on the service for a while. The company has also reportedly confirmed scaling back these prompts, without specifying a reason for doing so. Notably, a report earlier this month claimed that the social networking platform was training its AI models on user data without giving them a prior notice.
LinkedIn brings back AI prompts displayed to Premium users
According to a Fast Company report, LinkedIn is silently removing the AI prompt suggestions in the feed. These prompts appeared underneath every post and suggested related queries that a user could ask the AI. This feature was similar to what Meta released on Facebook.
However, reports state that the visibility of these prompts has decreased significantly. LinkedIn spokesperson Suzi Owens confirmed to the publication that the platform has brought these AI suggestions back by the company, but highlighted that this was not in response to criticism by users or a negative perception of the AI features.
“Members can still use our AI-powered tools on the jobs home page to get personalized insights, like how to build a network, position yourself for a job, or learn about a company,” the spokesperson told the publication.
The point about user criticism comes as several users reportedly found their feed bombarded by these prompts, and not helpful. These suggestions were meant to encourage users to try out the AI features the company launched in November 2023. Notably, there is no way to turn off these prompts on LinkedIn.
