Hello Google AI team,
I would like to raise a concern regarding the availability of Gemini AI Studio and its API in French overseas territories such as French Guiana, Guadeloupe, and Martinique.
Despite being integral parts of France and the European Union, these regions are currently restricted from accessing Gemini AI services. This situation is frustrating for developers and organizations based in these territories, who are eager to explore and build with Gemini like anyone else in mainland France or Europe.
Could you please clarify the reason for this restriction?
Moreover, is there an official process or contact point to request the removal of these geographic restrictions so that French citizens in these territories can also benefit from Google’s AI advancements?
We believe it is essential to ensure equal access to innovation and AI development tools for all regions of France, including its overseas departments.
Thank you for your attention to this issue.
Best regards,
