Over the years, countless experts have warned about privacy and cybersecurity risks with all “smart”, wireless, 5G and/or Internet of Things (IoT) devices and technologies.  They warned about privacy invasive and problematic utility “smart” meters – electric, gas, and water – as well.  In fact, approximately 6 months ago, the Biden Administration proposed that companies voluntarily put cybersecurity labels on IoT devices.  Additionally it promised to eventually address cybersecurity issues with increasingly unpopular “smart” meters.  Unfortunately now that everyone’s freaking out about Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) – and rightfully so – warnings about 5G, IoT, wireless, and/or “smart” technologies may take a backseat to warnings about A.I.  Of course, it’s good that some familiar voices are still around trying to wake people up.
