内容总结：

近日，有网络传言称谷歌修改隐私政策，将用户Gmail邮件内容用于人工智能模型训练，并声称用户必须关闭"智能功能"（如拼写检查）才能避免数据被采集。对此，谷歌公司发言人詹妮·汤姆森公开澄清，指出相关报道存在误导性，强调谷歌既未更改用户设置，也从未将Gmail邮件内容用于其Gemini人工智能模型的训练。

据悉，Gmail的智能功能体系已运行多年，主要提供订单追踪、航班信息自动导入日历等便捷服务。虽然谷歌工作空间服务的设置页面显示，开启智能功能即同意谷歌使用用户活动数据优化体验，但公司明确表示这并不涉及将邮件内容移交AI训练。

值得注意的是，有科技媒体记者反映其已关闭的智能功能曾被系统重新开启。今年1月，谷歌确实更新了个性化设置选项，允许用户分别控制工作空间与其他产品（如地图、钱包）的智能功能。建议用户定期检查账户设置，确保功能开关符合个人隐私偏好。

目前这场争议凸显出公众对科技公司数据使用方式的高度敏感，尽管谷歌已作出官方否认，但用户对个人数据安全的关注度持续升温。

针对近期社交媒体上广泛传播的“谷歌修改政策，将使用Gmail邮件及附件训练AI模型”的说法，谷歌公司予以严正驳斥。此类传言声称用户必须关闭拼写检查等“智能功能”才能避免数据被采集，但谷歌明确表示从未将用户邮件内容用于AI模型训练。

针对Malwarebytes等媒体发布的“需关闭Gmail智能功能以避免邮件被用于AI训练”的病毒式传播内容，谷歌发言人珍妮·汤姆森向The Verge澄清：“相关报道存在严重误导——我们既未更改任何用户设置，Gmail智能功能也已存在多年，更重要的是我们从未使用用户邮件内容来训练Gemini AI模型。”

不过用户仍可复核相关设置。有Verge内部人员反映，其先前已关闭的部分智能功能被重新激活。今年1月，谷歌更新了智能功能个性化设置，允许用户分别控制Google Workspace及其他产品（如地图、钱包）的智能功能开关。

启用Gmail智能功能可提供订单跟踪、航班信息自动添加至日历等便捷服务。根据设置页面说明，开启Workspace个性化功能即表示“同意谷歌使用Workspace内容及活动数据优化使用体验”，但谷歌强调这绝不意味着将用户邮件内容移交用于AI训练。

Google is pushing back on viral social media posts and articles like this one by Malwarebytes, claiming Google has changed its policy to use your Gmail messages and attachments to train AI models, and the only way to opt out is by disabling “smart features” like spell checking.
Google denies ‘misleading’ reports of Gmail using your emails to train AI
Viral posts claim you need to opt out of Gmail’s ‘smart features’ to avoid having your emails used to train AI, but Google says it doesn’t use the content of your emails for AI training.
Viral posts claim you need to opt out of Gmail’s ‘smart features’ to avoid having your emails used to train AI, but Google says it doesn’t use the content of your emails for AI training.
But Google spokesperson Jenny Thomson tells The Verge that “these reports are misleading – we have not changed anyone’s settings, Gmail Smart Features have existed for many years, and we do not use your Gmail content for training our Gemini AI model.”
You may want to double-check your settings anyway, as one Verge staffer also says they had opted out of some of the Smart Features, but had been opted back in to having them on. In January, Google updated its smart feature personalization settings so that you could turn the features for Google Workspace and for other Google products (like Maps and Wallet) independently of each other.
In addition to things like spell checking, having Gmail’s smart features turned on enables features like tracking orders or easily adding flights from Gmail to your calendar. Enabling the feature in Workspace says that “you agree to let Google Workspace use your Workspace content and activity to personalize your experience across Workspace,” according to the settings page, but according to Google, that does not mean handing over the content of your emails to use for AI training.
