Google’s warning is very clear—make sure you read it and check your settings before using this new update...to hit Google Messages. And so we return to a warning first floated some months ago, but which now impacts millions of users. There is a security disconnect between AI chatbots and end-to-end encrypted messaging that users need to understand and take seriously. Because those blurred lines are dangerous and little understood.
This warning applies to all cloud-based AI from Google and everyone else. The privacy-centric alternative is on-device AI, which Google provides via Nano. But that is substantially lower-powered than cloud-based alternatives—at least for now. And not to state the obvious, but the AI models need the training data from somewhere—and, put simply, you’re it.While those warnings apply to all other apps and services onboarding AI, there’s a specific disconnect with secure messaging.
