U.S. government agencies are procuring extensive commercially available personal data (CAI) without warrants, leveraging a legal interpretation that exempts these purchases from Fourth Amendment protections and related restrictions. Deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) on classified networks further escalates privacy risks by enabling rapid, large-scale analysis of CAI for pattern-of-life intelligence, potentially facilitating mass domestic surveillance.
