Gmail Privacy Alert: Stop Google Using Your Emails for AI Training

• Gmail users are advised to adjust privacy settings to prevent their emails and attachments from being used for Google's AI model training.
• Engineering YouTuber Davey Jones alerted users, claiming they were 'automatically OPTED IN' for AI data collection.
• To opt out, users must manually turn off "Smart Features" in two locations within Gmail Settings, including "Smart features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet."
• Disabling these features will also turn off popular Gmail AI tools like 'smart compose,' email filtering, and grammar checks.
• Google, via a HuffPost statement, denies using Gmail content for training its Gemini AI models, calling such concerns misleading.

Why It Matters: Users can adjust Gmail settings to prevent email data from AI training, though Google disputes claims of using it for Gemini.
