Did you know Google Tests PermissionsAI for Chrome That Analyzes User Behavior To Make Website Permissions Less Annoying

 

Google is testing an exciting new feature called PermissionsAI on Chrome.

The feature is designed to analyze users’ behavior online and therefore use that information to make website permissions much simpler and less irritating. Thanks to a new article published by Windows Report, we can confirm that this can determine the probability of the user giving permissions for camera, microphone, location, and more across a certain site.

In cases when it feels there’s a low chance of getting approved, it would show a request in a more silent manner instead of the usual pop-up. To ensure the prediction is going on the right track, it will base judgments on the Permission Prediction Service by Google. More details will also be taken from Gemini’s Nano v2.

This only works if the user has the feature for Safe Browsing enabled and if the security feature warns it of intrusive ads and malware. The same goes for phishing attempts or cybersecurity threats. Now it’s still in the testing phase but an early version of the feature was seen in the testing phase with developers as spotted on Canary. 

 

The description tab located on top of the Change Log for PermissionsAI highlights the feature is in the development phase. Meanwhile, in other news, the company is also busy testing out another AI agent for its Chrome browser. This will be used to carry out web-related tasks online like exploring research topics, booking tickets, or carrying out shopping tasks. It’s codenamed Project Jarvis and would also be allowed to take screenshots frequently of how the user carries out tasks. This gives them more data about user behavior and also analyzes the pictures before performing an action on command.
