Don't tell your AI anything personal, Google warns in new Gemini privacy notice ( www.zdnet.com )

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.

Don't tell, share, give or allow access to anything personal to corporations

AI are children of corporations .... so don't give anything to the children of corporations

On the one hand, this could be filed under "yeah, no shit, we all know stuff in the cloud is forever".

On the other hand, it's something that's easy to forget with the ubiquitous omnipresence of compute in our lives. We become numb to it, and everyone has moments of crisis or weakness where they may let their guard down.

The US needs better privacy and consumer protection laws. But we're always behind Europe, and way behind technology, when it comes to our crappy legal system.
