Google expanded its Personal Intelligence feature to all US users on March 17, allowing Gemini's AI assistant to tap Gmail, Google Photos, and other Google ecosystem data to generate contextually personalized responses. The rollout extends a feature previously limited to early access users and marks Google's most direct move to compete with memory-enabled AI assistants that aggregate personal context. The expansion raises renewed privacy questions as Google's default-opt-in model gives Gemini access to potentially years of personal communications.
