Google Gemini will now learn from your chats-unless you tell it not to
Briefly

Google is enhancing Gemini's capabilities by introducing the Personal Context feature, which allows the chatbot to remember details from past interactions for better and more relevant responses. This aims to improve the user experience, particularly in areas like recommendations. However, there are concerns about the potential downsides of AI chatbots becoming too personable, which might lead to misunderstandings and delusions. The feature will initially be available with the Gemini 2.5 Pro model, although certain regions, including the European Union and the UK, will not have access. Users can enable or disable Personal Context at any time.
