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.
