Gemini in Chrome is becoming available for Mac and Windows users in the U.S., and we’re also bringing Gemini in Chrome to mobile in the U.S. Users can also activate Gemini when using Chrome on Android, and other apps, by holding the power button. And starting soon, on iOS Gemini in Chrome will be built into the app.
IT teams can configure Gemini in Chrome through policies in Chrome Enterprise Core, and enterprise data protections automatically extend to customers with qualifying editions of Google Workspace.
AI Mode from Google Search in Chrome
In addition to Gemini in Chrome, the Chrome omnibox—the address bar people use to navigate the web—is also getting an upgrade. With AI Mode, people can ask complex, multi-part questions specific to their needs in the same place where they already search. You’ll get an AI-generated response, and can keep exploring with follow-up questions and helpful web links. IT teams can manage this feature through the generative AI policies in Chrome Enterprise Core.
Proactive AI Protection
We know that a browser’s greatest value is its ability to keep users safe. As the security threats from AI-generated scams and phishing attacks become more sophisticated, our defenses must evolve just as quickly. That’s why security is one of the core pillars of Chrome’s AI strategy.
Safe Browsing’s Enhanced Protection mode is now even more secure with the help of AI. We’re using it to proactively block increasingly convincing threats such as tech support scams, and will be expanding to fake anti/virus and impersonated brand websites soon. We’ve also added AI to help detect and block scammy and spammy site notifications, which has already led to billions fewer notifications being sent to Chrome on Android users every day.
AI with enterprise controls
Organizations want to empower their workforce with AI for greater productivity, but never at the expense of security. Chrome Enterprise gives IT teams the tools they need to manage these new capabilities effectively: our comprehensive policies allow IT and security teams to decide exactly which AI features in Chrome are enabled for which users, and how that data is treated.
Chrome Enterprise Premium allows organizations even more safeguards. For example, they can use URL filtering to block unapproved AI tools and point employees back to corporate supported AI services. Within AI tools, security teams can apply data masking or other upload and copy/paste restrictions for sensitive data. These advanced capabilities further prevent sensitive information from being accidentally or maliciously shared via AI tools or any other web sites.
With Chrome Enterprise, AI in the browser offers businesses the best of both worlds: a highly productive, AI-enhanced user experience and the enterprise-grade security enterprises depend on to protect their data.
