Gmail Users Urged to Disable Automatic AI Data Sharing Setting
Gmail users have been automatically opted into a setting that allows Google to access their email data to train AI models, according to cybersecurity experts. This setting, which includes personal and work messages and attachments, can be disabled by users who wish to protect their privacy. The setting is part of Google's efforts to enhance AI capabilities, but it has raised privacy concerns among users. A proposed class-action lawsuit alleges that Google secretly enabled this feature to exploit users' private communications. Google has responded by stating that the reports are misleading and that Gmail content is not used for training their AI models. Users can opt out by adjusting settings in two locations within Gmail.
