 Gemini is adding a feature that's designed to feel more tailored to individual users. Once enabled, "Personal Intelligence" can pull context from across your Google ecosystem, including Gmail, Google Photos, Search and YouTube History, to gain specific insight that will shape its answers and recommendations. Personal Intelligence is available starting today in the US for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. The feature is opt-in only and is off by default.

Google says users will have the ability to control what apps Gemini pulls from and, in the future, which chats it uses Personal Intelligence for. The company says this new feature might still make some mistakes, such as "over-personalization" where it draws connections between unrelated things.
According to Google, Gemini will not train directly on the data it pulls for personalization like your photos and emails, but will instead train on your prompts and its responses. Users can also prompt Gemini to "try again" without personalization and will have the option to delete chat histories.

LG opened CES 2026 by outlining its vision to reduce the physical effort and mental burden of life. Buy enough of the devices it's presently working on and you'll exist in an environment of "ambient care," coddled by the machinery in your home. It sounds positively utopian: When the sensors in your bed know you've not slept well and are getting a cold, a robot will wake you with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. When you're in a rush to get to work, the robot will make you a sandwich for you to eat on the go, sparing you the effort of making it yourself. The more I roamed the halls of the show after that, the more I couldn't help feeling uneasy about what so many companies here were pitching. To me, the vision of the future on show here is equal parts solitary and infantilized.
There's obvious reasons for this: AI swallowed the tech industry's oxygen, sapping any chance of innovation in consumer hardware. The advent of Panther Lake is a win for Intel, but it's not going to enable dramatic changes in how people work with their PCs on a daily basis. The US policy shift away f
