Google is currently developing a new artificial intelligence feature for its chatbot Gemini, according to reports. The feature, identified as Content filters, was discovered in the latest beta version of the Google app for Android. It is designed to give users enhanced control over the types of content that the AI generates, particularly unwanted or harmful material. However, as the feature is not yet available to the public, its exact functionality remains uncertain.
Gemini Expected to Introduce Content Filter Feature
An article from Android Authority highlights that the company, headquartered in Mountain View, is working on a content moderation tool specifically for Gemini. The evidence of this new feature was found in the beta version 15.51.24.sa.arm64 of the Google app for Android. Importantly, this feature has not been made public, meaning beta testers currently cannot access it.
The publication shared a screenshot illustrating how the feature is integrated into the Gemini Settings section, positioned between Screen context and Manage your Advanced subscription. This new addition is clearly marked as Content filters.
The screenshot also provides a brief description stating, “Use filters to control the responses you see.” However, limited information is available at this time due to the feature’s inactive status on the server side. When users tap on the Gemini feature, it redirects them to a URL associated with Google’s Gemini website, which is currently not operational, leaving the publication without further information.
From the details gathered, it appears that the feature could serve as a mechanism for users to customize the responses they receive. It may function similarly to parental controls on various devices and websites, allowing individuals to filter content for safety.
Additionally, the feature might be broader in scope, enabling users to blacklist specific websites, restrict entire topics, or filter responses based on defined criteria. A less likely scenario could involve users tailoring Gemini’s response style and tone for future interactions. However, these interpretations remain speculative until Google officially announces the feature.
