Google denies Gmail reads your emails and attachments to train AI, but here's how to opt-out anyway

Google faces controversy over Gmail's smart features, which some users and security experts claim allow the company to access private emails and attachments for AI training purposes. While Google strongly denies using Gmail content to train its Gemini AI model and states it hasn't changed user settings, concerns persist about opt-in permissions for features like AI summaries and automated email sorting. Users can disable these features through two separate toggles in Gmail's settings menu under smart features sections.
