On my Pixel 7A I can’t activate the “AI notifications”.
I think it was working earlier.
Every time I open the settings, the switch has moved to left.
Do you mean the “System Settings > Notifications > Notification Summaries” and / or the “Notifications > Notification Organizer”?
Yes, exactly that.
OK let me pass that to the developers. You are the first to observe it, much more of a hot issue was when upstream AOSP activated these by default before we realized it and then needed to disable them by default (but they should be re-enable-able I believe)

Why would anyone want AI in a de-googled phone?
AI goes against the grain of a freedom system!!!
As long as everything happens locally on the device, everything is fine.
AI has been introduced and there was no mention of it anywhere, it may have little to do at the moment and some have accepted it being part of the system while others do not want anything to do with it, some say but you can turn it off, but can you really turn off AI?
If the phone is connected to the internet and future OS updates enable deeper control then it may not be strictly confined to the phone but many can’t see that as a possibility
I think you are mixing a few things here. This thread started about a user wanting to enable the device-only machine learning notification summaries (that are not enabled by default), but now you are making it about removing it. Note I mildy object to this being called “AI”
As to the feature being introduced in the codebase, this happens and was announced at the AOSP level which is the basis for GrapheneOS and Calyx as well as LineageOS (and thus iodéOS). Since not many are AOSP enthusiasts it wasn’t fully seen before the the A16 QPR2 AOSP rollout that this new feature was there, so thus it “slipped into iodéOS 7.3 enabled by default before we quickly disabled it by default”.
But also back to that discussion you can find here, my conjecture is that it is mainly marketing to label it “AI”. I mean yes there are things done programmatically based on other inputs. But is this different than a progression of “auto-blocking calls from people not in your address book”? Should that be called “AI blocking of your non-contacts” and sold as a feature? But this can go on and on, let’s go back to that thread if you want to re-hash this some more.
