Google Gemini introduces memory summary feature for user control over personal data

Google is rolling out a new feature called Memory Summary for its Gemini AI, granting users the ability to review, edit, and delete the personal information the AI retains. This enhancement aims to give users greater oversight into what the AI has learned about them. The new functionality organizes collected personal data—including details about background, relationships, work, interests, and preferences—into categorized summaries, moving beyond previous scattered memory entries. Users can modify specific items or erase content they do not wish Gemini to remember, and the system also tracks modification history. Access to the Memory Summary is available within the Personal Intelligence section of Gemini's settings. While the feature has been tested on the web version of Gemini supporting Simplified Chinese, Google's support pages indicate that it is currently primarily available to US users aged 18 and older who subscribe to Google AI, provided they have English enabled, Keep activity history, and memory functions activated.
