Google表示，其Gemini助手现在可以通过名为Personal Intelligence的beta功能，主动使用用户在Gmail、Search、Photos和YouTube中的已选择数据，以使回答更具个性化。负责Gemini应用、Google Labs和AI Studio的副总裁Josh Woodward在一篇周三发布的博客文章中写道，这是让Gemini更个人化、更主动、更强大的一个步骤。Personal Intelligence最初在美国以beta形式推出，并且该功能默认关闭。
为应对隐私问题，Personal Intelligence为选择加入：用户必须启用它，并可选择哪些应用连接到Gemini，例如排除Search历史记录但纳入电子邮件、照片和YouTube观看历史。不同于先前只有在被询问时才从各类Google服务检索信息的整合方式，Personal Intelligence可以在可能改进答案时，自动调用所选应用中的信息。Google表示，个性化不会用于所有回答，且用户可以在不使用个性化的情况下重新生成答案。
Google承认，尽管对beta版本进行了广泛测试以减少错误，失误仍将发生，包括把无关主题联系起来的过度个性化，以及在时机或细微差别上挣扎，尤其涉及离婚等关系变化或兴趣转移。用户可以通过点踩按钮提供反馈，并在对话中直接纠正Gemini。该功能将于1月14日在美国向Google AI Pro与AI Ultra订阅者开始推送，并预计在接下来一周内覆盖所有此类用户，同时计划扩展到其他国家与Gemini免费层。
Google said its Gemini assistant can now proactively use selected user data across Gmail, Search, Photos, and YouTube through a beta feature called Personal Intelligence, aiming to make responses more personalized. Josh Woodward, a vice president for the Gemini app, Google Labs, and AI Studio, wrote in a Wednesday blog post that this is a step toward making Gemini more personal, proactive, and powerful. Personal Intelligence initially launches in the US in beta, with the feature turned off by default.
To address privacy, Personal Intelligence is opt-in: users must enable it and can choose which apps connect to Gemini, such as excluding Search history while including email, photos, and YouTube viewing history. Unlike earlier integrations where Gemini retrieved information only when asked, Personal Intelligence can automatically draw on the chosen apps whenever it may improve an answer. Google says personalization will not apply to all responses, and users can regenerate an answer without personalization.
Google acknowledges mistakes will still occur despite extensive beta testing, including over-personalization that links unrelated topics and difficulties with timing or nuance around relationship changes like divorces or shifting interests. Users can give feedback via a thumbs-down button and correct Gemini within the conversation. Rollout begins Jan. 14 for Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers in the US and is expected to reach all such users over the next week, with expansion planned for other countries and Gemini’s free tier.
