Google Chrome's Hidden AI: What You Need to Know
Description
Google Chromes AI model, Gemini Nano, has been auto-downloading since 2024, enhancing privacy by keeping data local. However, many users were unaware, and security experts like Davi Ottenheimer initially missed it. To disable, go to Chrome settings, system, and switch off on-device AI. This stops downloads and updates, and Google will auto-uninstall if space is low. Disabling AI boosts privacy but kills scam protection and some web features, so consider switching browsers for control.
