New mpox variant spotted in UK as warning issued virus is 'circulating globally and evolving'
The Californian company was forced to clarify that Gemini isn't digesting everything in your inbox after a blog post from Google sparked confusion by suggesting that the AI-powered assistant will "draw on context from your Gmail, Drive and Chat".
But don't worry - it doesn't mean that Gemini will be able to answer questions based on the contents of your personal correspondence.
Gmail does scan your content, but it's only used to power its Smart Features. This allows AI to automatically help you write emails faster and organise your inbox. These features include spam filtering, categorisation, writing suggestions, and its latest scheduling assistant capabilities.
To help clear up any confusion, Google posted a statement on X claiming that no settings have been changed and that Gmail content is not being used to train their Gemini AI models.
