| LinkedIn helps maximize social opportunities |
As part of a larger effort to increase job prospects and remove ingrained bias within its system, LinkedIn has changed its recommendation algorithm for use by people you may know.
This is to ensure that users are not influenced by factors such as where they grow or where they work when building a professional network.
Recommendations from People You May Know on the platform can play an important role in communicating with users. As a result, LinkedIn is constantly striving to improve its system to prevent certain types of users from controlling this element.
“The People You May Know feature primarily uses data such as economic charts and platform interactions to provide features and uses machine learning algorithms to provide relevant suggestions,” the platform said.
However, as with any artificial intelligence system, controlling external social factors, such as the general visibility of members outside the platform or the gradual introduction of professional social networking or development, is an important issue for the accuracy of a social networking system. Internet.
This could lead to AI-based products that reflect biases against certain groups of people, but not against others.
Based on this action, for example, more and more well-known users frequently appear in these recommendations. This is because LinkedIn uses the platform's interaction as a proxy for other people they want to communicate with.
"Some members on LinkedIn receive a large number of contact requests, such as industry influencers, CEOs, or recruiters at large companies," the platform said.
"The disproportionate demand for connectivity appears to be missing our firm goal of bridging the network gap," she added. However, it can also update and notify intrusive member networks through potentially random feeds.

The other big problem with that is that these people can be the main link to this opportunity. Thus, it is important to highlight a wide range of contact suggestions for these users. It's about helping you maximize your communication potential.
The improved platform system now seeks a better balance of recommendations. This is to highlight people who haven't seen many connection requests. This makes it possible to broaden the scope of the work's visibility.
The result is that more people are now receiving more connection requests. Unlike most people who have fewer members, this gives users more opportunities to expand the network across the platform.
This is another step in expanding capabilities by improving visibility within the app. It can help more people find more valuable and important business contacts.
