wow, that sounds dangerous and an active security risk to any company or individual who did not consent to it and counter intuitive to really anything meaningful at all. The organization that came up with this idea probably is raking it selling other company data to third party organizations and governments. This itself looks like an ad.

I assume you're speaking about read.ai (not the rest of my comment)? For what it's worth, the bot starts every conversation with a pop up "are you willing to record this conversation" if you or any party selects no or type "opt out" in the chat at any time it'll leave. You can also set it to only show up when invited.

Conversations are often recorded in the space I'm in (for note taking purposes). So it's fairly convenient. There's A LOT of apps that record meetings for you. Zoom even has this as an option built into their application.

I recall one of these transcription bots recently sending out an email summary to everyone on the invite and creeping everyone out. Don’t remember if this was the specific one or not.

I could see that, but I think it really depends on your use case.

I could see having the ability to search all my meetings to find a clip of a conversation / meeting notes with a client would be invaluable. Otherwise I look like an idiot and contact the client again and ask a question they've already answered.
