And how. I'd lean towards no. Where we're headed feels like XKEYSCORE on steroids. I'd love to take the positive, optimistic bent on this, but when you look at where we've been combined with the behavior of the people in charge of these systems (to be clear, not the researchers or engineers, but c-suite), hope of a neutral, privacy-first future seems limited.

My guess is that the main purpose of agents will be to train the AI on your data. Companies have run out of data on the internet for training AI's, so they'll use agents as an excuse to get access to your personal real-time data. This has always been the business model, you are the product.
