Settings for enhanced autofill

What it does

Specifies whether users can let Brave use Generative AI to better understand forms and help them fill more fields. 0 = Has the same effect as 1. Before M153, the setting allowed Google to use relevant data to improve its AI models. Relevant data may include prompts, inputs, outputs, source materials, and written feedback, depending on the feature. 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 relevant data (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. If the policy is unset, its behavior is determined by the GenAiDefaultSettings policy. For more information on data handling for generative AI features, please see https://support.google.com/chrome/a?p=generative_ai_settings.
