As AI in browsers goes mainstream, with companies like Microsoft and Mozilla leading the pack, browsers like Tor are swimming against the current by removing AI-related features in version 15.0a4.
Even if that were the case, it wouldn’t make any difference. Since the change in CEO, the company has been moving towards AI. When Mitchell Baker made way for Laura Chambers, the company’s policy also changed and the aim now is to make money with AI. In other words, today’s settings could disappear with tomorrow’s updates.
However, I understand the move, as open source is not promoted enough and financial resources go to closed source players.

Are all of these AI features not transparent?
