Short version.

Phone can't share what it doesn't collect

Apple says you can turn off AppleAI in ios 18+

It is now "default on" not off.

It does not run in earlier versions.

AND it can't run in older models.
This is the list of who can and can't.

Safe bet. Get one that can't. Current SE can't. I chose wisely.

Google programs AI etc to spy and sell all your data. Google is poison. Apple includes it to compete. They use it to do idiot things (IMO) that nobody asked for, and to date, it often offers results more cringe-worthy than flat earth believers.

He sells privacy phones.

I can't vouch for privacy phones other than dumb ones. Privacy phones were sold by a Swiss company all over Europe. That Swiss company was actually Interpol or similar, and lots of criminals were nabbed.

It's like buying a pager from Bibi.

Trust nobody.

Best you can do simply is to avoid Google in all manner and get a phone that cannot perform AI.

Google is poison.
