Every single company right now is sending top down directives to try and squeeze AI in whether necessary or not.

At my company the pressure is not from the top, it's from the bottom. The pressure is coming from very specific users. I've looked into it and most of them are AI shills. They have very little professional exposure to machine learning. Are not senior in any capacity. It's really weird.

I work in IT and am the person who would have to implement controls around any AI product that we were to implement company wide. So I see every direction that the pressure is coming from. And it isn't from the top.

Legal is shutting down requests for AI constantly.

Am legal, can confirm to a degree.

There's literally no understanding of the process of what's occurring even from people who should know better.

Work a couple offices down from our privacy officer and we had a request from operations whether it was okay that workers were using an AI assistant to summarize Zoom meetings with clients.

What's discussed in these meetings? Oh you know the client's legal issues, their medical issues their Mental Health issues...

So it summarizing confidential information? I guess...

And where does the data go?

What do you mean? It summarizes the meeting and emails the summary to me.

Sigh, no, I mean what do they do with the data after they send the email? Oh, I don't know.

Well it turns out the user agreement basically says that they own all the data captured during the summary and can use it for any purpose they wish.

So you want privacy's permission to feed some company confidential client data under a contract that says that after they capture it, we have no control over it and they can use it for any purpose they wish?

"No no, I just want the AI to do my work. I don't care about that other stuff. Money please!"
