Signal’s Meredith Whittaker says AI chatbots ‘are not your friends’ and calls Copilot agents a backdoor

2026-06-21

Summary

Signal CEO Meredith Whitaker warned of the dangers of AI chatbots and criticized the Co-Pilot agent system, which accesses messages and credit cards, as acting as a kind of backdoor.

Key Points

AI chatbots are not users' friends or emotional interlocutors; they could become a new form of surveillance infrastructure.
Agent AI systems that act as user assistants, such as Microsoft's Co-Pilot, require access to a wide range of personal information, including messages, credit cards, and calendars.
These agent AI systems process plain text messages on the device itself, disregarding the end-to-end encryption (E2EE) of the transmission process, so they are no different from backdoors in terms of security.
