The Gemini app, as well as Gemini features in Google Workspace, are now BSI C5 certified

What’s changing 

Today at Google Cloud Next 2025, we announced that the Gemini in Google Workspace apps and the Gemini App have achieved the German BSI C5 attestations – the first AI productivity assistant to achieve this certification. For our customers operating in the EU, this means they can confidently adopt and integrate AI into their work with assurances that stringent third-party auditors have determined that Gemini’s architecture meets a high bar of security and privacy. 

This latest certification continues to build on Gemini’s existing, comprehensive set of safety, privacy, and security standards, including: SOC 1/2/3, ISO 27017/18, and ISO 42001 (the first international standard for AI Management Systems), as well as HIPAA compliance and as the first generative AI assistant to achieve US FedRAMP High attestations.

Availability 

  • This update impacts all Google Workspace users accessing the Gemini in Google Workspace and the Gemini app.

Save time making changes or updates to AI voiceovers in Google Vids

What’s changing 

We recently announced an update that adds AI voiceovers automatically when using Help me create in Google Vids. In continuing our efforts to enhance AI voiceover features, you can now make updates to your scripts and apply changes to your AI voiceovers with one click for every scene in your Vid, whether doing this manually or using Help me create. 


Existing AI voiceovers will be automatically replaced and scenes will automatically extend to match the voiceover length. In addition, users are now able to see previews of their end to end scripts in the script panel, making it easier to make edits and apply changes using the 'Generate all voiceovers' button.

Who’s impacted 

End users 


Why you’d use it 

This feature grants you easy access to generate voiceovers for multiple scenes at once to provide you with professional narration across a video. In addition, it saves time replacing existing voiceover generations and extends scenes in your video to match voiceover lengths. 


Additional details 

Scenes are only extended to match voiceovers, they are not automatically shortened to avoid unintentional removal/cropping of scene content. Only AI Voiceovers generated in Vids will be automatically replaced when generating new voiceovers, existing non-generated audio objects will not be deleted. 


Getting started 

  • Admins: There is no admin control for this feature. Vids will be ON by default and can be disabled at the organizational level. Visit the Help Center to learn more about Vids. 
  • End users:
