Google Tests AI-Powered Quick Replies for Gmail, Raising Privacy Concerns
-
Google is testing AI-powered "Gemini" reply suggestions in the Gmail app for Android, allowing quick suggested responses.
-
This gives Gemini access to read users' private Gmail messages to formulate suggestions.
-
There are privacy concerns around Google analyzing private data to train its AI systems.
-
Google says it gets user consent and does not use Workspace data to improve its generative AI without permission.
-
However, for Gemini in Google Messages, human reviewers read conversations to improve products, so confidential info shouldn't be shared.
