Google’s Gemini AI is receiving a major upgrade that will allow the artificial intelligence assistant to tap into users’ data across Gmail, Search, Photos and YouTube history to offer what the company is calling “Personal Intelligence”. Josh Woodward, vice-president of Google Labs, Gemini and AI Studio, said the new feature was designed to “make Gemini uniquely helpful”. ADVERTISEMENT“This marks our next step towards making Gemini more personal, proactive and powerful,” he said, adding that Personal Intelligence is being initially launched in the US in beta for “eligible” Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers, and only for personal Google accounts. This is not the first time Google has added some form of personalisation to its AI chatbot. With Personal Intelligence (PI), however, the AI chatbot can analyse information from a Google account, apply reason and come up with answers.
