Smart devices in the AI age
summary
OW2 is a small European open‑source foundation (down to 6 people) that hosts projects like Mirina on a Fairphone, Cryptpad and XWiki, and works with city of Paris and national police. The claim is that smart devices and brokers (Axium/Oracle) already profile billions and AI increases data capture; NGI funds roughly 1,200 projects in six years to counter that. Recommended fixes: decentralize, prefer forks of Android, host your own LLMs instead of OpenAI APIs, and deploy blockers — tracker blocker logs show dozens of trackers on typical apps.
