Several well - known apps, such as WeChat, the Agricultural Bank of China app, and the China Construction Bank app, have implemented monitoring and risk - control mechanisms specifically designed to address screen - sharing activities facilitated by AI - powered mobile phone software. Let's take the China Construction Bank app as an illustration. When users attempt to access its services, the app will display pop - up windows, urging them to close screen - recording or screen - sharing software, like 'AI - operated mobile phones' apps. This measure is crucial for safeguarding the security of personal information and financial assets, as well as preventing fraudulent activities.

At present, leading smartphone manufacturers including Huawei, Honor, OPPO, and Vivo have incorporated AI Agent features into their flagship models. Nevertheless, certain non - compliant AI Agents manage to cross application boundaries by exploiting technical loopholes, such as accessibility permissions. These agents then engage in extensive data collection, which has sparked significant privacy concerns. Moreover, since some operations are carried out in the cloud, users may find themselves losing control over their devices once they issue instructions.

In response to these issues, relevant staff from WeChat clarified that login irregularities on WeChat, which are sometimes attributed to individual AI Agents, may have inadvertently triggered the platform's existing security and risk - control measures.
