„As part of the wider tech industry’s wider push for [AI](https://www.tomshardware.com/tag/artificial-intelligence), whether we want it or not, it seems that Google’s Gemini AI service may now reading private Drive documents without express user permission, per a report from privacy activist and current Facebook Privacy Policy Director Kevin Bankston on X.com. … Google, however, disputes these assertions.
>*Just pulled up my tax return in Google Docs–and unbidden, Gemini summarized it. So…Gemini is automatically ingesting even the private docs I open in Google Docs? WTF, guys. I didn’t ask for this. Now I have to go find new settings I was never told about to turn this crap off.*
Google Drive also scans your files for viruses. They also already index the contents of your documents, for search:
[https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2375114?hl=en&ref_topic=2463645#zippy=%2Cuse-advanced-search:~:text=documents%20that%20contain](https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2375114?hl=en&ref_topic=2463645#zippy=%2Cuse-advanced-search:~:text=documents%20that%20contain)
But suddenly, if it’s used as Gemini’s context, it becomes a huge deal. It’s not like your document data is used for training Gemini.
Google was scanning those documents long before Gemini existed. I actually like the feature. I keep a lot of notes and work related docs so it usually helps.
