Title: Google Has a Big AI Advantage: It Already Knows Everything About You

Google's expansion of Gemini's data access through "personal context"
represents a fundamental shift in how AI assistants operate. Unlike
competitors that start from scratch with each new user, Gemini can
immediately tap into years of accumulated user data across Google's
ecosystem. The Verge adds: Google first started letting users opt in to its
"Gemini with personalization" feature earlier this year, which lets the AI
model tap into your search history "to provide responses that are uniquely
insightful and directly address your needs." But now, Google is taking things
a step further by unlocking access to even more of your information -- all in
the name of providing you with more personalized, AI-generated responses.
During Google I/O on Tuesday, Google introduced something called "personal
context," which will allow Gemini models to pull relevant information from
across Google's apps, as long as it has your permission. One way Google is
doing this is through Gmail's personalized smart replies -- the AI-generated
messages that you can use to quickly reply to emails. To make these AI
responses sound "authentically like you," Gemini will pore over your previous
emails and even your Google Drive files to craft a reply tailored to your
conversation. The response will even incorporate your tone, the greeting you
use the most, and even "favorite word choices," according to Google.
