Google's New Bard AI to Analyze Private Messages, Raising User Privacy Concerns
-
Google's new AI assistant, Bard, will start analyzing users' private messages on Android to understand context, tone, interests, and relationships.

This raises privacy concerns as sensitive conversations become exposed to AI algorithms and potentially humans.
-
Google claims analysis will happen on-device to avoid sending private data to servers.
-
Users should carefully weigh benefits vs privacy risks before allowing Bard access. Granular controls over what's analyzed are important.

Bard's integration in Messages, coming in 2024, will transform texting and spur an AI assistant arms race between Google, Apple, and Meta.
