LinkedIn has added a “About this profile” feature that will show members when a profile was created & last updated, along with whether the member has verified a phone number &/or work email associated with their account. This, said LinkedIn, will help make members make informed decisions, such as when you are deciding whether to accept a connection request or reply to a message.
Starting this week, members will be able to find the “About this profile” feature on each LinkedIn member’s profile page. For work emails, LinkedIn plans to start with a limited number of companies, & expand later.
Detecting fake accounts using AI-generated profile photos
LinkedIn also announced its new deep-learning-based model proactively checks profile photo uploads to determine if the image is AI-generated using cutting-edge technology designed to detect subtle image artifacts associated with the AI-based synthetic image generation process without performing facial recognition or biometric analyses.
This model helps increase the effectiveness of our automated anti-abuse defenses to help detect and remove fake accounts before they have a chance to reach our members.
