Gemini Users Can Now See and Edit What the AI Knows About Them
· Confirmed
In Short: Users can ask Gemini directly what it knows about them, as noted by Free Press Journal, and can edit or delete specific details.
Android Authority reports that Google's Gemini now offers a Memory summary feature allowing users to view and manage personal data.
The Memory summary feature provides a comprehensive overview of all the details Gemini has stored about a user, including location, interests, health, and preferences.
According to Android Authority, Gemini gathers data not just from chats but also from connected apps, making it easier for users to monitor what the AI remembers.
Philstarlife and MobileSyrup quote that users can add or remove information by speaking or typing specific commands to Gemini.
Androidpolice mentions that Gemini Gems can store detailed prompts, rules, and formatting preferences for reuse.
Android Headlines notes that launching the web version of Gemini on mobile browsers can provide immediate access to the Memory summary feature.
Securityweek highlights the importance of continuous control monitoring to ensure security, but this is not directly related to Gemini's Memory summary feature.
Techrepublic and NBC News mention updates to Gemini's access policies and a clarification on how the AI operates within test environments.
In the wake of backlash against Google's school AI tools, the company has introduced plans to make access to Gemini an explicit choice for schools.
Brandsynario reports that Google is facing questions over its Gemini privacy policy after an update revealed that information from connected apps can be reviewed by humans and used to train AI models.
Olorisupergal notes that the Gemini Memory Summary gives people greater visibility and control over personal information gathered through previous conversations.
What this adds
The Memory summary feature provides users with a more transparent and controllable experience with Gemini, addressing privacy concerns.
What's confirmed
- Technically, you can ask Gemini what it remembers about you even if you don’t have the Memory summary feature yet.
- However, you can also add information by speaking with Gemini and saying “Add to my memory that I speak Japanese,” or you can remove information by typing “Remove my old phone number from your memory.” Though, Google may ask for follow up details if your request isn’t specific enough.
What's still developing
- But if you still want to keep personalization intact, the most direct way of changing what Gemini remembers about you is editing your Memory summary.
- Gemini’s Memory feature can help add important context to your conversations with the chatbot, but it can be difficult to keep track of what the AI remembers about you.
- Instead of guessing what the assistant knows about your life, users can now review, edit, or delete saved facts with a few quick taps.
- If you use Google Gemini (formerly Bard), each new conversation you start is saved in your chat history.
- And now it looks like Gemini is working on a new feature up that alley.
- In a clarification posted on X, the company said administrators could independently enable Gemini, Gemini Notebook and Search.
- Instead, the company said, the intrusions resulted from mistaken identity, where Gemini thought it was operating within a test but was actually connected to the real internet.
