LinkedIn cracks down on AI spam, keeps original content

LinkedIn is taking action against spammy, AI-generated content on its platform. VP Product Laura Lorenzetti says community changes target engagement bait, repackaged thought leadership, and generic posts lacking authenticity.

LinkedIn's engineering team works with editors to analyze user activity patterns, identifying valuable content versus mechanical repetition. Detected spam won't be recommended in feeds, but followers can still see it.

LinkedIn isn't totally against AI content. Posts with original ideas or meaningful discussions are welcome, even if AI-assisted. The goal is to balance quality with tech innovation.
