Google’s new systematic study suggests people are already using Gemini for civic and government tasks far beyond casual Q&A.
- The most common use case is tax filing, followed by help with voting procedures, immigration rules, and navigating bureaucracy.
- The paper also finds that these civic queries often happen after business hours, when public services are harder to reach.
- The takeaway: AI is beginning to act like a practical interface to government for ordinary citizens.
