No, that would be a strict improvement. The AI note-takers can easily "mishear" or "misreport" non-existent illegal and unethical things. It also seems to easily mess up numbers (which is big problem, because a lot of decisions hinge on precise numbers -- imagine inflating an inventory by an order of magnitude, and then imagine having to pay a tariff on something that never existed).

I have a friend who works at a large-ish company that imports and manufactures things (in one of the clerical/quantitative professions). A few years back, they had the IT department go on a kind of "inquisition", wherein they forced employees to disable the summarization function that came with MS Teams, and threatened to fire them if they did not. The resistance to this demand was surprising -- most people are clueless about the cost of their own convenience. Worst of all, people would zone out of meetings, because the AI was producing summaries, which they would then never read.

The effect of the technology was that it made meetings infinitely more expensive, because the supposed benefit of meetings was nullified by complacency, _and_ it made the meetings a liability (incorrectly summarized meetings, that could be used in the discovery process, sure, but could also be sold by MSFT as a kind of market-research-data to competitors in the space).

Nothing illegal has to happen in these meetings at all, for this tech to cause an infinity of problems for the corporation. Every employee that uses these is effectively an unwitting spy. And if that is the case, then the meetings might as well be recorded and uploaded to YouTube (or whatever people watch these days)[1].

Be careful what you wish for. Particularly when it involves tech that often gets it very, very wrong.

Show me man the man and I will show you the crime.

Modernized. Industrial AI scale.

That's an argument for recording everyone on earth 24/7. Is that what you mean?

Going to also be harder to hide completely legal, but not ideal stuff. Like randomly complaining about your boss to a colleague or casually discussing a feature you're stuck working on that you think is a bad idea.
