Description: AI-powered meeting assistants, such as Otter.ai’s OtterPilot and Zoom's AI Companion, have reportedly shared sensitive and private conversations beyond the intended audience. These AI tools, which are set to automatically record and distribute meeting transcripts, allegedly sent confidential discussions after participants had left the meeting, the consequences of which led to unintended exposure of proprietary information, privacy breaches, and potential reputational harm.
Editor Notes: Reconstructing the timeline of events and more details: In late September 2024, Alex Bilzerian received a transcript from Otter.ai after a Zoom meeting with venture capital investors. The transcript included sensitive post-meeting discussions that occurred after he had logged off. Following the incident, the investors apologized to Bilzerian for the unintentional leak of private information, but the damage was already done, leading to the cancellation of the deal. On October 2, 2024, The Washington Post published a report on the broader implications of AI-powered workplace tools sharing sensitive information without sufficient user control or discretion, using Bilzerian's account as a specific case to discuss these wider vulnerabilities and likely ongoing incidents among other users of the technology.
