Gemini can now scan your photos, email, and more to provide better answers

Google launched Personal Intelligence for Gemini, allowing the AI chatbot to scan users' photos, emails, and search data to provide personalized responses. The company emphasizes no new data is collected since this information already exists on Google's servers, and personal data won't directly train the AI model, though prompts and outputs may be used for training. Google built privacy guardrails preventing Gemini from discussing sensitive health information unless explicitly requested, while users can disable the feature entirely.
