Meredith Whittaker, president of the Signal Foundation, joined TechCrunch Senior Reporter Devin Coldewy for a conversation about the threats facing Signal and its mission, how Signal beat Apple in raising the bar on encryption and why NVIDIA is a “giant, core dependency” for the AI industry.

Whittaker has previously spoken at TechCrunch events, including Disrupt 2023, where she expressed her concerns around AI as a surveillance technology, though at StrictlyVC she honed in on the difficulty in monetizing and the centralization of power within the AI field.

StrictlyVC brings together the most important insights and most notable figures across a wide range of tech companies, and it’s now a part of TechCrunch. Throughout the year, TechCrunch Editor-in-Chief and StrictlyVC host Connie Loizos is joined by members of the TechCrunch team and founders, VCs, leaders and innovators across the technology industry, pulled together from around the world.
