Can AI Chatbots Truly Keep Your Secrets?
from GREY Journal Daily News Podcast
Moxie Marlinspike, founder of Signal, launched Confer, an AI chatbot that uses end-to-end encryption to protect user conversations. Confer encrypts prompts and responses on the user's device and processes them in a secure environment, using passkeys like Face ID or device PINs instead of traditional passwords. The platform provides cryptographic attestation to verify secure data handling and aims to prevent user data from being accessed by third parties or used for targeted advertising. Signal's encryption protocol was previously adopted by WhatsApp, and Confer seeks to set similar standards for privacy in AI applications.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.
