Signal President Medith Whitekar warned Friday Agentk AI The risk of user privacy can come with a risk.
Speaking on the stage at the SXSW conference in the city of Austin, Texas, the use of AI agents is called “keeping your brain in the jar”, and it is warned that this new pyramid of computing – where AI works by users – is a “confidentiality” with both confidentiality and security.
Whiteker explained how AIA agents are being marketed to increase your life by handing over various online tasks for the user. For example, AI agent will be able to find concerts, booking tickets, schedule an event on your calendar and messaging things to your friends.
“So we can just put our mind in a pot because it is talking and we don’t need to touch it, okay?” , Whiter said.
Then he explained that the AI agent needs to perform these tasks, including a way to access and run our web browser, as well as access to our credit card information, our calendar, and the messaging app to pay our friends to our friends.
“It will be able to be able to drive [process] In our entire system with something that looks like root permission, accessing each of these databases – perhaps clearly, because there is no model to encrypt it.
He added, “And if we are talking about a quite powerful… AI model that is giving it strength, then there is no way on the device that is happening.” “It is definitely being sent to a cloud server where it is being processed and sent back. Therefore, there is a deep problem of security and privacy that is bothering this hype around the agents, and it is eventually the risk of linking all these separate services to the application. [and] Sloping their data, “Whiteker concluded.
He said that if a messaging app like a signal is to integrate with AI agents, it will damage the privacy of your messages. The agent has to access the app to text your friends and also get the data back to summarize these texts.
During the panel after his comments, he had earlier made how the AI industry was made on a surveillance model with large -scale data collecting data. “There is a great AI parable” – which means more and more data, better – the potential results she didn’t think she was good, she said.
With Agent AI, Whitekar warned that we would further damage privacy and security in the name of “magical Jenny Boat” that would take care of the usefulness of life. “
