Ever since ChatGPT made waves, tech companies have been racing to release their artificial intelligence competitors, and Google has stepped up its AI game with Gemini. Launched in December 2023 by Google DeepMind,

Google says that Gemini is subject to the same enterprise terms as other core Workspace services like Gmail and Docs, and won’t use an organization’s data, generated responses, or user prompts to train or otherwise improve its Gemini AI model.

It’s a big week for Google AI as Gemini in Workspace is billed as a project-starter for businesses of all sizes.

Google is holding a first-of-its-kind "Gemini at Work" event Tuesday to convince businesses that its generative AI offers a better option than rivals Microsoft and OpenAI. Why it matters: The largely virtual event comes amid a flurry of claims from tech providers and growing skepticism that genAI is ready for broad use beyond coding and customer support.

Business, Enterprise, and Frontline users will get access to Gemini for work with security protections at no extra cost. Here's how.

Workspace business customers will get access to the chatbot with “enterprise-grade” data protection beginning Oct. 15.
