OpenAI: We may refer [you] to law enforcement

A couple of years ago (before OpenÄI), i imagined that in the not-too-far future, an average iphone will probably call the police if it detects inappropriate behavior above some threshold. Like domestic violence, a robbery, etc.

The reasoning would be: because our AIs are so much part of everyone's life, it would be irresponsible to not call the police if the algorithm says so. Because we, as a multi-national, gigantic corporation, deeply care about everyone's well-being. That's our highest priority!

I think the reasoning would be much simpler: more and more services and personnel working in those services are becoming mandatory reporters through legislation and regulation.
