“Privacy Alert: Gmail Users Warned About Google’s AI Scanning”

Millions of Gmail users have received an alert regarding Google’s new AI features that scan emails for smart functions. The caution, shared by TV personality Lori Greiner on Instagram, raises concerns about privacy. Despite Google’s assurance that the AI does not access personal data, Greiner advises Gmail users to disable the feature to protect their information. To deactivate the AI scanning, users can follow simple steps in Gmail settings, turning off smart features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet. Google emphasizes that personal data is secure and not accessed by its team or third parties. While Gemini in Gmail processes data for specific tasks, it does not retain any information. Users who prefer more privacy can opt out of AI scanning by adjusting settings in Gmail.
