Millions of Gmail users have been alerted to a significant issue regarding AI scanning their emails. The warning was raised by TV personality and entrepreneur Lori Greiner on Instagram. Google’s new AI smart features, intended for enhancing user experiences, have sparked concerns about privacy. Greiner emphasized the need for Gmail users to take action to protect their personal information. To disable AI scanning in Gmail, users can easily follow steps to turn off smart features in their settings. Google assures users that their personal data remains private and secure, with AI models like Gemini only accessing emails for specific tasks and not retaining any data. Despite these assurances, users who are uncomfortable with AI scanning can opt out of smart features in Gmail settings.
