A.I. Has Arrived in Gmail. Here’s What to Know.

Google is rolling out generative A.I. features in Gmail, marking one of the biggest changes to email in decades. New tools help users search emails with questions, summarize threads, generate replies, proofread messages, and automatically create to-do lists from inbox content. Some features are free, while advanced tools require a paid A.I. subscription. The upcoming AI Inbox offers a high-level, task-focused overview that cuts through email clutter. While the tools can improve productivity, they raise privacy concerns because Google’s A.I. assistant needs access to users’ emails. Google says no humans read inbox content, but legal access remains possible, leaving some users undecided.

TikTok Is Now Collecting Even More Data About Its Users. Here Are the 3 Biggest Changes

If you’re a TikTok user in the U.S., the platform has rolled out updated terms of service and a revised privacy policy, and the changes matter. As Wired explains, one major shift concerns location tracking. If you grant TikTok access to your phone’s location services, the app can now collect highly granular data about your exact whereabouts. The update also expands what counts as collectible data by explicitly including users’ interactions with any of TikTok’s AI tools, which the company may collect and store. Finally, TikTok is broadening how it uses the data it gathers, allowing it to power more targeted advertising not only within the app, but across the wider web as you browse elsewhere.

Ghostery has given me so much peace of mind and actual stats to go with it. The emails I received about people in the privacy minded community are unmatched in my opinion. I can't believe I've gone this long without knowing the "behind the curtain" issues at hand. I credit this company with educating me and informing me on current privacy issues.
