Everything is about to "go dark"

Matthew Green expresses concern that AI-powered encryption will make software overly secure, potentially causing U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies to "go dark" by losing significant surveillance capabilities. He traces how law enforcement surveillance shifted from phones and payphones in the early 2000s to encrypted smartphones and messaging apps by 2016, leading the FBI to launch its "Going Dark" initiative to pressure companies into providing access to encrypted communications. Green warns that while stronger security benefits privacy advocates, it paradoxically poses challenges for those who rely on law enforcement capabilities.
