Why Google's AI Features Vanish in Certain States

What this episode covers

Google has disabled AI-powered Ask Photos and conversational editing features in Illinois and Texas due to state laws regulating biometric data collection. Face grouping, which underpins these features, is not available in these states as a result of legal requirements for explicit user consent and previous legal actions. Google confirms these features are blocked in affected regions and states that compliance with local privacy laws is necessary before expanding access.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.
