LinkedIn Reveals AI Image Hunter That Catches Fake Profiles

LinkedIn has developed a new AI image detector that is claimed to be able to catch 99.6% of fake profile images, with a 1% false positive rate. According to anecdotal evidence, their new detector actually works.

There are many reasons why people create fake LinkedIn profiles.

For some members of the affiliate search marketing community, one reason for fake profiles is the perception that Google will trust a site if the article authors have links to a LinkedIn profile in their author bios.

This idea springs from the Google’s encouragement that content should have what is known as E-E-A-T, Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness.

For others the motivation is to create a more trustworthy-looking website for visitors to their websites.

This is not meant to condone those practices, I discourage them. This is just to explain that the practice is happening and why it’s happening. The advent of the ability to create profile images with AI has made it easier to create fake profiles, which exponentially exacerbated an already huge problem.
