What if you're in a meeting using companion and you are not sure it should be enabled or you don't feel comfortable with it being enabled?
Unlike some tools, AI Companion does not shut off its AI features just by typing “stop” in the chat. There is no easy way to shut off AI Companion during a meeting. The best practice would be to send an individual message to the host and ask them to turn off AI.
If I'm hosting a meeting and want to use AI Companion, do I need to notify individuals at the start of the meeting and give them an opportunity to say no?
Best practice is to always be transparent about when and why you’re wanting to use AI; AI companion within Zoom is no different. It is best practice to notify all participants that AI will be used and allow them the opportunity to express if they do or do not feel comfortable having it enabled for the meeting.
What if AI Companion is enabled in a meeting and we begin to talk about medium or high-risk content?
AI Companion can be paused or shut off at any time. If medium or high-risk content comes up, remind everyone that the topic violates NU ITS policy and recommend turning off the AI Companion before you resume discussing, or recommend taking the conversation offline. If you realize this after the meeting ends, simply delete the AI companion summary so it is permanently deleted after 30 days.
