Among the application privacy notes Gemini Of Googlepreviously known as Bard, the Mountain View company recommends not telling the artificial intelligence yours personal data.
The artificial intelligences they are the business of the present and no longer of the future, but they involve major risks, one of which is the violation of privacy. Google knows this well and, to protect itself, has included the above warning on the sharing of personal data among the notes of Gemini, its generative artificial intelligence.
Like in real life
Google itself explains in a crystal clear way that it collects user data when using Gemini. More precisely, it stores conversations, where the AI was used, feedback, and general usage information. All to improve the AI itself, as well as to increase its effectiveness advertising.
AI is not your friend, don’t give it your credit card information
Google claims to use some automatic tools for removing personal data from retained conversations: “We value your privacy and do not sell your personal information to anyone. To help Gemini improve your privacy, we select a subset of conversations and use automated tools to help remove personal data personally identifiable information (such as email addresses and phone numbers). This sample of conversations is reviewed by expert reviewers and stored separately from your Google Account for up to three years.”
At the same time, however, the company warns: “Do not enter sensitive information in your app conversations with Gemini, or data that you would not want to be seen by a reviewer or used by Google to improve our products, services and machine learning technologies. “
In short, as happens in real life, a certain discretion must be used even with AI, also because Google will retain the data for a certain period even after any uninstalling the application: “App conversations with Gemini that have been humanly reviewed, as well as feedback and related data such as your language, device type, or location data, are not deleted when you delete your app activity with Gemini, because They are stored separately and are not linked to your Google Account. Instead, they are stored for up to 3 years.”
