Gmail Users: Disable This AI-Training Opt-In Now

Gmail has an automatic opt-in that allows Google to access your emails and attachments to train AI models. You can opt out in two places on desktop (Settings > General > Smart features and Manage Workplace smart feature settings) and on mobile (Settings > Data privacy > Smart features / Google Workspace smart features). Turning off these features may disable tools like Smart Compose, inbox categorization, and spell-check, but it gives you privacy control. The piece notes privacy concerns and reports of a class-action, though Google says Gmail content isn’t used to train Gemini.
