As a former law enforcement intelligence official who vehemently opposed (and still oppose) encryption back doors, I am quite concerned about how the widespread introduction of AI to mobile devices will negatively impact the privacy and security of our information. I have long been in solid agreement with [@matthew_d_green](https://ioc.exchange/@matthew_d_green ) on issues around lawful intercept and encryption back doors, and I agree that the threat of AI tools on phones is imminent; I also maintain that the issues society must now consider are different from those previously debated.

A fundamental difference between something like an encryption back door, and the ways in which government and law enforcement will soon seek (in the name of crime prevention and investigation) to leverage ubiquitous AI-on-mobile is the scope of undefinable areas in which we just can’t know how much AI tools can stray from vendor-stated purposes (through means like updates, or as a result of vulnerable or poorly-implemented or -designed code). I further believe that anyone who says that they do know this is, at best, misinformed.
