Google Gemini will use what it knows about you from Gmail, Search, and YouTube (www.theverge.com)

Google has announced an upgrade to its Gemini AI that enables deeper personalization through a feature named "Personal Intelligence." This allows users to connect their Gemini chatbot with Gmail, Google Photos, Search, and YouTube history to receive more tailored responses. Unlike previous versions, Gemini can now reason across various data points from these applications, enabling it to provide contextually relevant suggestions without users needing to specify sources. For instance, it can recall family trip details from Google Photos to suggest specific tire options while also fetching license plate numbers directly from images. This development is significant for the AI/ML community as it showcases advanced reasoning capabilities and the potential for AI to interact with personal data in ways that enhance user experience. However, users are cautioned that, while Google has tested this feature extensively, there might still be inaccuracies or issues with how the AI interprets personal information, particularly concerning sensitive topics. Currently, Personal Intelligence is available in beta for eligible subscribers in the US, with plans to expand its reach and availability in the future.
