Intelligence Summary
Google is updating how Search history can be used to train its AI systems. The change can include media you upload during interactions, such as images used in reverse image search. This affects users who have Search history enabled and interact with Google’s media upload flows. The main risk is unwanted data sharing for model training rather than a direct compromise. Users can review and disable the relevant setting to prevent their uploads from being included.
