Where do you read the "decide to unencrypt your chats" part? I could only find that they have to decide based on the unencrypted parts of a WhatsApp profile plus other unencrypted data.

The article clearly mentions that the AI initiates the proactive queue:

    Artificial intelligence initiates a second set of queues [...] by scanning unencrypted data.

Initiates pretty clearly signals that no user reported the users in this queue.

I agree that this is somewhat unclear, but I think it's certainly talking about two different things.
