Discussion

It may also be reviewed by humans to improve AI models. 0 is the default value, except when noted below. 1 = Allow the feature to be used, but does not allow Google to improve models using users' content (including prompts, inputs, outputs, source materials, and written feedback). 1 is the default value for Enterprise users managed by Google Admin console and for Education accounts managed by Google Workspace. 2 = Do not allow the feature.
