    β€œGoing further, such a model could, for example, display a warning. Or block the ability to continue,” Olejnik continued with emphasis. β€œOr report it somewhere. Technological modulation of social behaviour, or the like. This is a major threat to privacy, but also to a range of basic values and freedoms. The capabilities are already there.”

    Fleshing out his concerns further, Olejnik told TechCrunch: β€œI haven’t seen the technical details but Google assures that the detection would be done on-device. This is great for user privacy. However, there’s much more at stake than privacy. This highlights how AI/LLMs inbuilt into software and operating systems may be turned to detect or control for various forms of human activity."
