Open to Debate: should we trust AI agents with our information?

Jeff Berman moderates a live debate from the Masters of Scale Summit featuring Meredith Whittaker, President of Signal, and Neil Chilson, head of AI policy at the Abundance Institute. Whittaker warns that AI agents need sweeping access to personal data that could undermine encryption and expose privacy. Chilson counters that existing laws and market competition can contain the risks without sacrificing productivity gains. The discussion centers on the trade-off between convenience and control over personal information.
