Check Content

Review managed Google Android 17 device configuration settings to determine if the mobile device has an AI application that processes device data in the cloud, including Google Gemini.

This validation procedure is performed only on the EMM administration console.

On the EMM console:

1. Review the list of selected managed Google Play apps.
2. Verify no AI applications that process device data in the cloud, including Google Gemini, are listed.

If the EMM console device policy includes AI applications that process device data in the cloud, including Google Gemini, this is a finding.

Note: This restriction does not include Gemini Nano. Gemini Nano is a built-in capability of Android 17 and processes device data on the device. Refer to the STIG Supplemental document, Section 2, Artificial Intelligence Restrictions, for more information.
