While Washington spins the latest economic data and billionaires hedge their bets, working Americans are feeling the very real squeeze of rising costs, and sudden instability. HuffPost reports on the real economy – the one that impacts you.
access to your emailed data “to train AI models,” cybersecurity experts allege. If you don’t want this information shared, you need to adjust your settings. “IMPORTANT message for everyone using Gmail. You have been automatically OPTED IN to allow Gmail to access all your private messages & attachments to train AI models,” Engineer Dave JonesIn the race for companies to get an ROI on AI, we’re already seeing language learning models running out of new, human-generated data to train on. And as HuffPost has, tools like AI assistants that automatically take meeting notes were already being considered an opportunity to passively gain data from users in work settings. “Google uses information to improve our services and to develop new products, features and technologies that benefit our users and the public. For example, we use publicly available information to help train Google’s AI models and build products and features like Google Translate, Gemini Apps, and Cloud AI capabilities,” according to the, users are alleging that the company “secretly” turned on Gemini to “access and exploit the entire recorded history of its users’ private communications, including literally every email and attachment sent and received in their Gmail accounts.”Google did not immediately answer HuffPost’s question about the process of opting users in and out of these features, or the class action lawsuit. A spokesperson for Google told HuffPost via email that the reports are “misleading,” noting that “Gmail Smart Features have existed for many years, and we do not use your Gmail content for training our Gemini AI model.” The spokesperson added, “we are always transparent and clear if we make changes to our terms of service and policies.”To get this feature turned off, you need to open up your settings and manually opt out in two different locations.On desktop, you go to your settings and look in the “General” tab. There, you can do your first opt-out and unselect the “Smart features”Next, you click into the “Manage Workplace smart feature settings” , and it will take you to a secondary pop-up that allows you to toggle on and off the features in Google Workspace and other Google products.Opting out of the former will turn off the “Ask Gemini” feature that summarizes content, as well as personalized search and events from your email being automatically added to your calendar. The latter will opt you out of features showing restaurant reservations and to-go orders in Maps, suggested tickets or loyalty cards to use in Wallet and answers, reminders and suggestions from Google Assistant and the Gemini app. If you’re on mobile, you can change these settings by going to your settings page and select “Data privacy.” From there, you can toggle off “Smart features” and click into the “Google Workspace smart features” menu to turn off the feature for Workspace and Google products again.One annoying part of this is that some useful Gmail features we’ve gotten used to are eliminated by opting out. Things like “smart compose,” as well as the feature that automatically filters your emails into “promotional” and “social” inboxes, and even spell-check, grammar check and autocorrect are currently tied to the Gemini opt-in. So, as you opt out of sharing your information, you might want to consider whether you’re ready to lose some features in exchange. And you’ll probably have to read your emails a bit more carefully.But for many concerned with their privacy, that’s better than letting something else do it.This 1 New Instagram Feature Is A Privacy Nightmare.
