in reply to Frédéric Jacobs • • •support the use of Al for lawful
foreign intelligence and
counterintelligence missions. But
using these systems for mass
domestic surveillance is incompatible
with democratic values. Al-driven
mass surveillance presents serious,
novel risks to our fundamental
liberties. To the extent that such
surveillance is currently legal, this is
only because the law has not yet
caught up with the rapidly growing
capabilities of AI. For example, under
current law, the government can
purchase detailed records of
Americans' movements, web
browsing, and associations from
public sources without obtaining a
warrant, a practice the Intelligence
Community has acknowledged raises
privacy concerns and that has
generated bipartisan opposition in
Congress. Powerful Al makes it
possible to assemble this scattered,
individually innocuous data into a
comprehensive picture of any person's
life-automatically and at massive
scale.
