NPR: Class-action suit claims Otter AI secretly records private work conversations. “A federal lawsuit seeking class-action status accuses Otter.ai of ‘deceptively and surreptitiously’ recording private conversations that the tech company uses to train its popular transcription service without permission from the people using it.”
The company's #AI powered transcription service called #OtterNotebook, which can do real-time transcriptions of #Zoom, #GoogleMeet & #MicrosoftTeams meetings, by default does not ask meeting attendees for permission to #record & fails to alert participants that recordings are shared with #Otter to improve its #ArtificialIntelligence systems, according to the suit filed on Friday.
