The latest project from Moxie Marlinspike is Confer, an AI chatbot that claims to offer end-to-end encryption, as spotted by Ars Technica. It looks like ChatGPT, but it works like Signal — the platform’s developers can’t access, sell, or share user data, or even train the AI on it.
TL;DR
- Confer is a new AI chatbot project by Moxie Marlinspike.
- It offers end-to-end encryption for user data.
- Developers cannot access, sell, or train the AI on user data.
- The platform's design is inspired by the privacy features of Signal.
