If you use Google, you�re training its AI. Here�s how to opt out.

AI Summary

Google quietly updated its privacy settings to automatically opt users into having their uploaded media � including images, audio, and video recordings � stored and used to train its AI models across services like Search, Maps, Translate, and Google Lens. The change split the previous single "Web & App Activity" setting into separate controls, meaning users who had previously opted out may now unknowingly be opted back in. Users can opt out by visiting Google's Search History and Personalized Recommendations settings pages and unchecking the "Save Media" option.
