Alphabet Inc.’s Google said its Gemini artificial intelligence assistant can now proactively tap into users’ data across Gmail, Search, Photos and YouTube, an attempt to make its consumer-facing AI product more personalized. Personal Intelligence is initially launching in the US in beta. To preempt any privacy concerns, Google has made Personal Intelligence an opt-in experience, meaning users must choose to turn it on — and they can choose which apps are connected to Gemini. But based on the wealth of data it’s been granted through Personal Intelligence, Gemini already understands what he needs. Google is encouraging users to provide feedback using a thumbs down button, and they can also correct Gemini directly in the conversation.
