Google has now admitted that they will tap into users' personal data within Gmail and Drive in order for their upcoming AI search to "be more helpful".

Waar is Europa?
Europa en onze digitale toekomst staan niet tussen de ‘prioriteiten’ waar D66 en CDA nu een agenda voor schrijven.
Nee, deze onderwerpen scoren niet lekker in de peilingen, maar het zijn wel de fundamenten van onze toekomst. En daar moet deze formatie alle aandacht voor zijn.
