You say, "what's the privacy policy for your AI assistant?" and then keep asking questions like that until the person running the call gets annoyed that this has taken over their agenda and they'll ban people from using unapproved AI agents on calls.
"Where is the data stored?" "Has this tool been approved by IT?" "Did you get consent from everyone to be recorded?" "Does the employee handbook say you can record other employees?" "Is my voice going to be used by an AI company to train a model?" etc.
Call me a coward but I can't blame someone for not having the strength to keep that up. Especially if it causes friction with your coworkers who you have to interact with every day.
You’re not a coward, that comment is horrible advice.
It’s good for “oh I oughtta…!” online, but in real life there are significantly more professional/adult ways of solving the problem than asking semi-rhetorical questions that barely make sense in the hopes of guiding someone toward the desired outcome. Please don’t actually do that.
Asking “what does the employee handbook say about X??” isn’t a “gotcha.” You can literally go look, then tell us.
It’s ok to ask not to be recorded in a small meeting. You don’t need to bring up your unfamiliarity with the employee handbook.
