## Gemini: Google's AI gets more personal Google is enhancing Gemini with a new "personal intelligence" feature, allowing the chatbot to access data from Gmail, Photos, Search, and YouTube. The goal is to provide more relevant and personalized answers, leveraging the vast amount of information Google has about its users. ## How the integration works The feature will be available to subscribers of the AI Pro and AI Ultra plans. Users will be able to choose which Google services to connect to Gemini, for example, enabling access to Gmail but blocking access to Photos. When Gemini gains access to these sources, it uses them to contextualize and improve its responses. The integration of personal data into generative artificial intelligence models is a growing trend. The more information provided to the model, the more accurate and useful its responses can be. Google, thanks to its dominant position in the online services market, has a significant advantage in this field. ## Privacy and data control Google emphasizes that the feature is completely optional, giving users complete control over their data. It will be interesting to observe how this integration will influence the user experience and what the implications for privacy will be.
