From Sidelineguy: “Re: AI note-taking in meetings. I am interested in how healthcare organizations and vendors are thinking about this. I’ve seen vendors pushing back on providers, citing security and confidentiality concerns. In extreme cases, I’ve seen vendors refuse to be on calls with the note-taking took turned on.” I’m not surprised that vendors are reluctant to have meetings recorded, especially large or publicly traded companies. Customer pitches and meetings that once were forgotten almost immediately can now be converted into searchable transcripts, internal knowledge assets, potential AI training inputs, or discoverable material for litigation, and the company is the party that will be held accountable. It is easy to understand why even an honest vendor wouldn’t want to give a prospect or customer control of the institutional memory of the discussion that could be used in contract negotiations or enforcement disputes. Participants may also be required in advance to avoid topics related to product trade secrets, pricing, or information that would require a business associate agreement. Calls could have been recorded before AI, but new technology raises a company’s risk profile and justifies a “no recording” policy, even though that might annoy the client.
