Signal founder Moxie Marlinspike partners with Meta to bring encryption to AI chatbots, aiming to protect user conversations from tech companies and governments.
San Francisco: Moxie Marlinspike, who made Signal app, is working with Meta to add encryption to their AI systems. Millions of people use Signal, WhatsApp, and Messages every day for private conversations. Now Marlinspike wants to make AI chatbots more private too.
People send billions of messages to AI chatbots each day. Unlike regular messages, these AI chats aren’t private. Companies can see what you say to their chatbots. They use this information to make their AI better.
Marlinspike says this is a problem because unencrypted data can be seen by many people. His new company, Confer, wants to fix this. They are adding privacy technology to Meta’s AI.
Signal already keeps regular messages private. Messages look like scrambled letters that only the sender and receiver can read. The same idea might work for AI chats, but it’s more complicated.
Experts say private AI chats are important. People share personal information with chatbots. They should be able to do this without companies watching. More companies should make private AI chats like what Marlinspike is trying to do.
