PCPD Welcomes LinkedIn’s Pause of Using HK Users’ Personal Data for Training GenAI Models

On 3 October 2024, PCPD expressed concern regarding LinkedIn’s default opt-in setting for using Hong Kong users’ personal data and content on the platform to train its generative AI models for content creation, and wrote to LinkedIn to enquire into the matter. 


The PCPD received a response from LinkedIn on Oct 13 confirming that it has paused any use of Hong Kong users’ personal data for such purposes as of 11 October 2024 while the PCPD’s concerns are being addressed.
