Protecting your interactions with AI

Confidentiality and compliance are priorities for IT managers when implementing AI, so Google is actively helping to keep data safe.

• Google does not use your data, requests or generated responses to train Gemini models outside of your domain without permission. The company does not sell this data and does not use it for targeted advertising.
• Gemini only receives the data that the user has permission to access, and the existing security and data sovereignty settings in Workspace are applied automatically.
• Gemini for Workspace and the Gemini application are among the first generative AI solutions for productivity to receive a wide range of certifications in the field of security, confidentiality and data protection, including SOC 1/2/3, ISO 27001/17/18 and ISO 42001, as well as help comply with HIPAA requirements.

The future of Gemini

Google continues to actively develop Gemini, adding new features and improving existing ones. In the future, we can expect even more Gemini integrations with other Google products, as well as global availability of existing tools in all relevant languages.

One of the key areas of Gemini development is the improvement of the ability to understand and generate natural language. Like all leading AI chats, Gemini can make mistakes. Google is working to ensure that Gemini can conduct more meaningful and natural conversations, always convey truthful information, and create better and more creative content, which will open up new ways to use AI.
