Requiring a warrant for AI chats but allowing all of them in with a warrant strikes the right balance. Chatbots are not therapists, and should not be treated as such - especially since the vast majority of chatbot uses have nothing to do with therapy. 4/4

The claim that using chatbots like therapists has a positive social effect is dubious. Chatbots may give good advice or may worsen a users' disorder by encouraging their worst impulses. AI apps tell users not to use them for therapy, and the law, too, should discourage this. 3/

It's very likely that highly revealing content data shared with third parties like Google Searches or the contents of AI chats would be protected under Carpenter, were the question to reach SCOTUS. 2/

That's correct

If you could get a review copy of this to me (and even if you can't) I might write a review of this when it comes out. The Church Report is pretty foundational to Fourth Amendment and surveillance studies.
