Session executives warn private messaging faces threats from artificial intelligence.
They cite device AI integration bypassing encryption and undermining privacy.
Session president Alex Linton said AI creates huge security risks.
It's impossible to communicate privately on devices.
Alex Linton said.
Linton warned operating system integrated AI could bypass messenger encryption.
He said data may be fed into opaque intelligence systems.
People no longer know what happens on devices.
Alex Linton said.
Linton criticised lawmakers relying on advice from major technology firms.
Session co founder Chris McCabe highlighted low public data awareness.
People are unconscious of their data usage.
Chris McCabe said.
McCabe said data monetisation enables manipulation through advertising techniques globally.
He warned mass data collection creates societal and individual risks.
Linton said regulatory pressure increasingly targets encrypted messaging developers worldwide.
Builders feel pressure attention despite safeguarding users.
Alex Linton said.
McCabe said Session emerged from decentralised technology and privacy ideals.
He began developing Session after redundancy pushed him into Web3.
Alex Linton previously worked as journalist with Australia’s national broadcaster.
He said journalism showed why secure private communication matters today.
Session operates open source with end to end encryption technology.
The app removes identifiers like phone numbers and central servers.
Removing the middleman protects sovereignty resists censorship.
Chris McCabe said.
Session received backing from Ethereum co founder Vitalik Buterin recently.
Buterin provided funding and public endorsement for privacy messaging apps.
The executives said awareness is essential to defend privacy rights.
They urged users to understand tools protecting data autonomy online.
At the time of reporting, Ethereum price was $2,978.60.
