WhatsApp messages will now be monitored: Google's new assistant sparks controversy
Claims that Google's new artificial intelligence assistant, Gemini, could access certain applications without user permission have reignited debates over data privacy.
Google has announced in emails sent to some Android users that, starting July 7, Gemini will be able to access applications such as WhatsApp, Messages, and Phone without explicit user permission. This situation has caused a widespread reaction on social media and raised concerns among users.
GOOGLE: "YOU CAN TURN IT OFF IF YOU DON'T WANT IT"
Users became aware of this development through screenshots of the email shared on Reddit. While Google did not provide a detailed explanation regarding this change in access, it merely informed users with a short note stating, "You can turn it off if you don't want it." However, the location of this setting and the extent of the data access remain unclear.
It is stated that when the 'App Activity' setting is enabled, Gemini may keep interactions recorded for up to 72 hours, and in some cases, this data may be reviewed by human moderators. This poses a serious source of concern for users who value their privacy.
The potential for Gemini to access such critical applications has sparked a significant debate regarding the security of personal data.
