Since the emergence of ChatGPT, AI chatbots have become incredibly popular. While ChatGPT continues to be a frontrunner, Google’s Gemini AI has entered the scene with some impressive models. Gemini’s integration with services like Gmail and Calendar offers convenience, but it also raises privacy concerns. By default, Google uses your interactions with Gemini to train its future AI models.
Large language models like Gemini learn from extensive datasets, recognizing patterns in reasoning, language, and context. These patterns allow the AI to understand user queries and improve content. By analyzing your conversations, Google aims to refine its models and provide better results.
Users rely on chatbots for various tasks, meaning that Google utilizes this data for AI model training. Fortunately, users can prevent this by adjusting their settings.
To prevent Google from using your Gemini interactions for AI model training, you must disable the Gemini Apps Activity setting. This can be done through the app or website. Google may update the setting’s name to ‘Keep Activity’ in the future, but the process for disabling it will remain the same.
Here’s how to adjust your settings:
1. Go to Gemini.Google.com in your browser and sign in.
2. Click the three-line menu icon on the left side, and then click on ‘Settings’.
3. In the ‘Activity’ section, tap the ‘Turn Off’ button next to Gemini Activity. This action will prevent Google from using your data for AI training.
