Gemini can soon be brought up via the power button as an overlay panel, where it will have access to whatever's on your screen. The demo involved opening a PDF in Android's PDF reader, summarizing it, and answering questions based on the content.....along with other demos shown
Phone call: scammer says "transfer the money in your bank account," but Android is listening.
The wildest demo revealed that Gemini will listen to your phone calls. One demo involved a scam phone call where the scammer on the other end claimed fraudulent charges were happening on your account and that the best way to secure your money would be to transfer it to a new account. After hearing the scammer speak the request to transfer money, the Google phone app popped up with a warning: "Likely scam. Banks will never ask you to move your money to keep it safe."
Not something I'd use
The company says all of these features will happen on-device, so your phone calls and PDFs will not be streamed to the Internet. It still feels just a bit creepy to have an AI listen in on your phone calls. Google says the feature will be opt-in though.
Google says that some of these features will require the pay-per-month Gemini Advanced also.
We're testing a new feature that uses Gemini Nano to provide real-time alerts during a call if it detects conversation patterns commonly associated with scams(watch the demo for AI catching scam phone calls)

I'm with Mathew on this one - governments salivating at this technology. Which could immediately be utilized under the guise of public safety
there are legislators who very much want to use similar software for policing, have bills in Parliament, and will be thrilled the software is built and easy to adapt to their purposes
although it is opt-in for when it rolls out that is but future us might not get an option
