From what we found out about a few days ago, Apple Intelligence does the same thing on your device using your data without any consent prompt.

> How your data is used
> This data is used to create personal insights about you, your relationships, and the people and things in your world. For example, depending on your settings, your Google Photos data is used to infer your interests, relationships to people in your photos, and where you've been, including by associating your face with corresponding location data and timestamps. This data is also used to do things for you, like look up your info or add items to your grocery list, and to improve Google services, including training generative AI.
