LinkedIn uses its self-developed AI system to identify and reduce the distribution of AI slop content

LinkedIn is using a self-developed AI system to identify and reduce the distribution of low-quality AI-generated posts, while assembling a team of former journalists and social media experts to train models to determine what counts as genuinely useful content. According to a CNN Business Tech report on October 18, 2026, a Pangram report in July stated that over 40% of LinkedIn's long posts were AI-generated, higher than the roughly 30% on X and Medium. The report also said that a "suspected AI slop" reporting button launched in August was clicked more than 1 million times within two weeks; after detection improvements, views of such content dropped 40%. The report has not disclosed further follow-up developments.
