LinkedIn is under fire following allegations that it has been using private user messages to train its artificial intelligence models. Critics argue this breaches user privacy and trust, as private messages are assumed to remain confidential. While LinkedIn has denied such claims, the incident has sparked debates about the ethical boundaries of AI training data. Applications of personal data without explicit consent may also violate the data protection laws such as GDPR. The furore has brought about other wider concerns of transparency and accountability towards AI development. With social platforms integrating AI, companies would have to ensure that the data of its users is handled responsibly to maintain the trust of its customers. This issue might open up the doors for stricter regulations on how user data could be used while training the AI.
An Indian-origin CEO has challenged Nandan Nilekani's view on AI by calling his approach "wrong". While Nilekani is in praise of the transformative potential of AI, critics flag concerns over jobs and social inequities that AI may have.

With AI rapidly advancing, its potential to displace jobs in sectors like IT and customer service raises alarm. However, proponents like Nilekani advocate for balancing innovation with regulation. The clash underscores the broader debate on AI’s role in society, urging policymakers to consider both its promises and pitfalls. This discussion reflects the need for nuanced perspectives in shaping AI’s future impact.
