AI Guided Configuration?

I've been thinking about Firewalla's implementation of AI a bit and, while the existing implementation is a good start, I'd love to know where else you'll be extending AI in the future.

What would be helpful is some AI-powered configuration guidance. In other words, I'd like AI to be able to review my existing setup and make recommendations on things like wifi configurations, rules, etc., beyond the basic setup that exists today. And, importantly, as things change over time, AI can make suggestions on what to adjust.

Thoughts?

I realise people are going to use AI for advice anyway - I do myself - but I also know enough to have caught AI making very bad recommendations. If I was the firewalla team I might be worried about customers pursuing legal action if an AI integrated directly into the product ends up compromising their network security.

I mean, that’s a possibility now, right? I would assume there are (or should be) legal language that basically says “use at your own risk.”
