Google Crome sneaking up the 4GB AI model, causing user privacy concerns

Some Google Crome users find that the browser secretly downloads and stores, without consent, about 4GB local AI model files for Gemini Nano-related functions, resulting in less disk space and frequent disk reading and writing, leading to privacy and compliance challenges. When manually deleted from the folder, Chrome will continue to download automatically, and users can use specific operations to prevent downloads, and unloading is the most effective way to remove a model file. The act has been going on for almost a year, related to the AI function introduced by Chrome last fall. Alexander Hanff, with a background in computer science and law, accused Google of violating European privacy regulations, and currently Google has not provided a detailed response to compliance risks and corrective measures, and follow-up developments and the involvement of regulators are to be seen。
