New claim: Gemini sends personal Drive files and emails to human reviewers
Follow-up to Monday Nov 9: Google quietly changed a Gemini promise: human reviewers may see your connected filesYesterday, we saw that Google quietly changed a Gemini promise: human reviewers may see your connected files. Today the story got bigger on Hacker News. A GitHub repository titled "Google Gemini routes personal Drive files and emails to human annotators" got 601 points and 129 comments.
Annotators are people who read and label data to help train or check AI. The repository claims that personal Drive files and emails end up in front of them. We only have the title and the repository. Our sources have no reply from Google, so treat it as a claim for now.
This is the third Gemini privacy story in a week, after last Thursday's report that it trains on chats from paying users.
When you connect your email and files to an AI, you hand over your private life. If humans can read it, people need to know clearly, before they click "connect", not after a GitHub post.
