We are about to lose a lot of privacy because of AI enabled devices that include NPUs. These devices will become commonplace soon and all of our messaging apps with encryption will be defeated because essentially the AI will have complete access to all messages and content pre-encryption. No need to bother with cracking it, and only one person using this tech will compromise the rest.

What do we have to protect ourselves? Hang on to old hardware pre-NPU? We will not be able to safeguard against who we are talking with if they have an NPU equipped device. We cannot be sure that even if it is disabled that it is still not working in the background or will not be re-enabled after an update or dark pattern.

If anyone knows of a defense against this or there is a greater discussion elsewhere, please share!

Stop using spyware OS's like Windows and Apple and you'll be fine.

The problem is other people who are using these AI enabled devices. It's unlikely I can be that persuasive to be able to get them off those devices especially when they've spent their own money on them. It is already hard enough to get people to switch to more secure or private messaging systems and the cost to switch is zero.
