Struggling to keep up with the changes from social media platforms? Looking for a summary of important updates that matter to marketers? 

This week, we explore changes from LinkedIn that matter for marketers and give your our thoughts on what’s important, such as this update: AI-Generated Profile Image Detection...

To reduce the number of fake profiles on the platform, LinkedIn deployed detection technology that’s “able to detect 99.6% of a common type of AI-generated profile photos, while rarely—only 1% of the time—misclassifying a real profile photo as synthetic.”

Our Take: We like that LI is going to reduce the number of bogus profiles by identifying those using AI-generated images to create accounts. But what if you want to use AI to enhance or create your headshot? If you’re using an AI-enhanced image for your profile headshot, be sure to apply for one of the three verification options so the platform knows your profile is genuine.
