What makes an in-person work meeting any different?
And it’s AI so you literally can’t 100% trust it which is like half the reason I take notes by hand (to keep an honest record).
If it gets things wrong, oh well. Not much of value was lost.
This describes the vast majority of meetings held in the corporate world.
For work, this is strictly better than not recording the meeting, as it allows for much faster searching, and it is very rarely wrong about the high level topics of a convo. I almost always go "General AI summary search" -> Transcript -> recording when trying to remember a specific item from a call.
That being said the parent article is spot on and I can't imagine someone bringing a recording to a conversation they aren't being paid to have.
Aside from that I just think its rude. Ask permission not forgiveness. People talking to people is what a meeting is all about. If you need assistance there's a conversation to be had about why and on what terms.
We've had this technology (minus the auto summary) for years. People don't like being interrogated. It's crazy. Or maybe I'm crazy and someone needs to explain how all of this happened, it can't be all tiktok..
