Google Gemini AI Assistant Expands to Latin America, Middle East, and Africa in Chrome
Google announced that its Gemini AI browser feature is now available in Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, expanding its global rollout. The feature provides a personalized browsing assistant integrated with Google apps like Calendar, Maps, and Gmail to help automate tasks. Europe remains notably excluded due to strict GDPR regulations requiring enhanced data security measures.
Google has expanded its Gemini AI browser feature to Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, bringing the assistant to nearly every region worldwide except Europe. Gemini in Chrome functions as a personalized browsing assistant that can summarize content, compare information across tabs, and integrate with Google services like Calendar, Maps, and Gmail to automate tasks such as drafting emails or planning trips. Users can access the feature via an "Ask Gemini" icon in Chrome and also use Google's Nano Banana 2 image generator. The notable absence from Europe stems from the region's strict GDPR regulations, which require AI systems accessing browser data to maintain highly secure versions that keep user data within the European bloc. Some users have reported the feature appearing in Chrome Canary beta builds in Europe, suggesting a potential future rollout to EU countries.
