AI notetaker

Last updated

An AI notetaker is a tool using artificial intelligence to take notes during meetings. [1] They are created by tech companies such as Microsoft and Google; by AI transcription services such Otter.ai, [2] and by smaller firms such as Cluely and Krisp. [3] [1] [4] [5] Some business executives send AI notetakers to attend meetings not only to take notes, [6] but also to answer questions on their behalf. [4]

The use of AI notetakers raises ethical questions, including recording meetings without the consent of all participants and the possibility that the notetaker will hallucinate and misrepresent what was said during meetings. [3] There are also concerns when it comes to the privacy and security of meeting data and the sensitive information that lives inside meetings. [7] Further controversies have developed from the use of AI notetakers such as Cluely to cheat in technical job interviews. [8]
