Hey, I'm the Chrome PM for the built-in AI APIs. I wanted to jump in on the privacy concern mentioned here.
It’s a totally valid question, and transparency is the only way this can work. On-device processing is an important core design goal of these APIs.
There are NO logs of the input / output interactions sent to any server, not even for training purposes. The only metrics we have are on performance, stability, and other generic API usage signals like any other APIs. These are all controlled by existing user preferences in Chrome.
Do you know if the android team plans to have access to this tool or if there is a plan for Android or chrome to integrate like this? Or maybe better, will other Google teams plan to use this tool to your knowledge to extract more user information? Surely this could change but it's always good to know.
Forgive my untrusting nature but I've been burned through several Google abuses of trust. I guess it doesn't matter much to me anymore I will never use chrome again, but maybe someone else is in the fence.
