Gemini AI caught scanning Google Drive hosted PDF files without permission — user complains feature can't be disabled (www.tomshardware.com)

As part of the wider tech industry's wider push for AI, whether we want it or not, it seems that Google's Gemini AI service is now reading private Drive documents without express user permission, per a report from Kevin Bankster on Twitter embedded below. While Bankster goes on to discuss reasons why this may be glitched for users like him in particular, the utter lack of control being given over his sensitive, private information is unacceptable for a company of Google's stature —and does not bode well for future privacy concerns amongst AI's often-forced rollout.

Dropbox did the same thing! Fortunately, all I had was backups of photos from 2010 and it was easy to purge.

I'm expecting more cloud storage to move in that direction. And soon, everyone either find a privacy focused cloud storage or roll their own backup solutions.
