In summary:
- PCWorld reports that Google Search’s AI Mode now incorporates Personal Intelligence, mining data from Gmail and Google Photos to deliver customized search results and travel recommendations.
- This development matters as it represents Google’s push toward highly personalized AI experiences while users retain control over which services connect and how data is used.
- Google assures that personal data from these services won’t be used to train its AI models, addressing privacy concerns as the feature expands beyond Gemini chatbot.
Earlier this month, Google said its Gemini AI chatbot will be getting to know you a lot better thanks to a new Personal Intelligence feature that scours your digital life. Now, the company has announced that Personal Intelligence is also coming to Google Search’s AI Mode.
By connecting Gmail and Google Photos to Personal Intelligence, for example, the search engine’s AI Mode will be able to provide you with search results tailored specifically to you. For example, AI Mode will use hotel bookings in your Gmail inbox and old travel photos in your Google Photos albums to recommend activities for an upcoming holiday.
The search engine will also be able to use your Google Photos images to suggest new clothes that would suit your style, for example.
Google says you’ll always have control over Personal Intelligence. Connecting Gmail and Google Photos to it is optional, and you’ll always be able to turn off connections afterwards.
Google also promises that it won’t train its AI models on the emails in your Gmail inbox or the photos in your Google Photos albums.
