Overview
- Google is activating Personal Intelligence for AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers in the U.S., offering per‑app permissions and a toggle to regenerate responses without personalization, with plans to expand to more users and to Search’s AI Mode.
- Gemini can draw on Gmail, Photos, Search and YouTube to infer preferences and suggest actions, shows data sources, and accepts corrections, exemplified by tailored travel plans or identifying the right winter tires via email records.
- Google says information is protected as in the underlying apps and future models will train on anonymized data, though prompts and responses may be used for training and limited “basic” references can persist after the feature is disabled.
- OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Translate as a web tool supporting 50+ languages with tone and style options and mobile voice input, but it currently lacks image, document and webpage translation and covers far fewer languages than Google Translate.
- OpenAI will test advertisements in the free ChatGPT and the low‑cost Go tier in the U.S., labeling ads at the end of answers, keeping Plus, Pro and Enterprise ad‑free, excluding minors and sensitive topics, and saying it will not sell user data.
