Google Warns of Privacy Risks with New AI Assistant “Gemini”

Key Points:

  • Google’s new AI assistant, Gemini, collects your conversations, location, feedback, and usage information.
  • Be cautious: This includes your actual conversations, not just summaries. They are stored for 3 years, even after deleting activity.
  • Don’t share sensitive information: Google may use it to improve AI and might share it with human reviewers.
  • Even turning off activity tracking doesn’t prevent conversations from being saved for 72 hours.

Additional Notes:

  • This applies to all Gemini apps, not just the main assistant.
  • Google claims they don’t sell your information but use it for internal purposes.

    Gemini: I already know that.

    Me: Oh…okay, well my address is…

    Gemini: Pfft, duhh, I’m trained on Google data, you think I don’t already know that?

    Me: Oh…okay…I was thinking…

    Gemini: About that last ad I shoved down your throat. Yeah, I know you loved that.

    Me: Uhh…no…you didn’t show me any ads…

    Gemini: Didn’t I?
