Meredith Whittaker Biography
Meredith Whittaker is president and member of the Signal Foundation's Board of Directors. She is also co-founder and chief advisor of AI Now Institute.
Previously, she was a distinguished research scientist at New York University, Whittaker was formerly employed at Google for 13 years, where she founded Google’s Open Research group and co-founded the M-Lab. In 2018, she was a core organizer of the Google Walkouts and resigned from the company in July 2019.
Whittaker has over 17 years of experience in tech, spanning industry, academia, and government. Before joining Signal as President, she was the Minderoo Research Professor at NYU, and served as the Faculty Director of the AI Now Institute which she co-founded. Her research and scholarly work helped shape global AI policy and shift the public narrative on AI to better recognize the surveillance business practices and concentration of industrial resources that modern AI requires.
Prior to NYU, she worked at Google for over a decade, where she led product and engineering teams, founded Google's Open Research Group, and co-founded M-Lab, a globally distributed network measurement platform that now provides the world's largest source of open data on internet performance. She also helped lead organizing at Google. She was one of the core organizers pushing back against the company's insufficient response to concerns about AI and its harms, and was a central organizer of the Google Walkout.
She has advised the White House, the FCC, the City of New York, the European Parliament, and many other governments and civil society organizations on privacy, security, artificial intelligence, internet policy, and measurement. And she recently completed a term as Senior Advisor on AI to the Chair at the US Federal Trade Commission.

Meredith Whittaker Speaking Topics
Meredith Whittaker explores the hidden risks behind AI agents—systems designed to handle tasks like booking tickets and managing messages. While marketed as convenient, these agents require deep access to personal data, financial information, and messaging apps, often operating with near-root-level permissions and cloud processing. Whittaker warns that this erodes privacy, increases security risks, and blurs critical boundaries between applications and operating systems. She challenges the audience to reconsider whether AI-driven convenience is worth the cost of personal autonomy and security.
