A viral social media post claimed Google is automatically accessing private Gmail messages and attachments to train its AI models, prompting numerous reports detailing how to disable Gmail’s Smart Features to supposedly prevent this. However, Google denies these claims, stating they haven’t changed any settings, Gmail Smart Features have existed for years, and they don’t use Gmail content for Gemini AI model training. Google emphasizes their commitment to user privacy, clarifying that Smart Features permissions are for user-specific use cases within Workspace, not AI training. While questioning AI policies is justified, this specific claim appears false.
