Chrome Autofill Uses Gemini AI to Pull Gmail Data Into Web Forms

This is a meaningful shift in where AI sits in the browsing stack: Gemini is no longer just answering prompts but acting as a data-retrieval layer between a user's inbox and third-party web forms. The affected parties are everyday Chrome users in the U.S., who gain convenience but expose a wider surface of email-derived personal data to automated form-filling, and the sites receiving that data. The open question is how Google draws the line between what Gemini may surface and what requires explicit consent, and whether users can audit or restrict which email categories feed autofill.
