Google Warns of Privacy Risks with New AI Assistant "Gemini"

Key Points:

Google's new AI assistant, Gemini, collects your conversations, location, feedback, and usage information.
Be cautious: This includes your actual conversations, not just summaries. They are stored for 3 years, even after deleting activity.
Don't share sensitive information: Google may use it to improve AI and might share it with human reviewers.
Even turning off activity tracking doesn't prevent conversations from being saved for 72 hours.

Additional Notes:

This applies to all Gemini apps, not just the main assistant.
Google claims they don't sell your information but use it for internal purposes.

The most likely reason for this is how AI model training work. Depending on the model's complexity, training data size etc, it can take enornous amounts of time to finish a training. Probably the initial training must be atleast 2-4 week at Google but that's just a huge assumption.

After that they probably train this base model with some newly acquired data (ex: 1 week of data) which won't take as much time to finish compared to starting from 0 all over again.
