I was born working class. Here’s how I’d say it if communicating with the general public/my family:
“Right now we have a way of reading the thoughts of the AIs to see if they’re gonna do anything bad before they do it. But that’s gonna change, and we’re not gonna know what they’re thinking anymore, so they’ll be able to secretly plan against us without us knowing.”
yes, this! Sometimes technical jargon is useful, and even necessary. But when explaining things to the polloi, don’t hesitate to use the equivalent of Simple English Wikipedia.
This is easier to do in person, when your demeanor can convey your lack of uppitiness, and/or you can see if the audience is tracking and you can move up a level of abstraction.
