Yes, I did sound the alarm on agentic AI's privacy threat, and rightly so. https://observer.com/2025/07/signal-meredith-whittaker-agentic-ai-risk/

So happy to be joining Burda Media's board of directors! I love a steep learning curve, and this one--schooling up on media business models & opportunities to (re)shape media's relationship to tech--couldn't be more exciting & consequential. Thrilled to contribute ❤️ https://www.burda.com/en/news/meredith-whittaker-joins-burdas-board-directors/

'Meredith,' some guys ask, 'why won't you shove AI into Signal?' Because we love privacy, and we love you, and this shit is predictable and unacceptable. Use Signal ❤️

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

A big humble thank you to and for featuring Signal and me in your roundup of 2025’s most influential companies. An honor to serve alongside an incredible group of people backed by a rad movement ❤️ https://time.com/collections/time100-companies-2025/7289620/signal/
