ITS has enabled optional automated transcription and summary for Zoom meetings, and updated meeting invite language.

 

The Zoom AI Companion, a generative Artificial Intelligence digital assistant, is set to “allowed” at the WPI Zoom account level. Individual meeting hosts can activate or disable the Zoom AI Companion in their own account settings. Attendees receive a prompt announcing the host's intent to use AI Companion and can request it be turned off. While the feature has been in use for the past several months by a few users, ITS has updated the meeting invite language to incorporate Zoom AI Companion notification and WPI's Global Privacy Notice for all users.

 

Features, instructions to enable and disable Zoom AI Companion, and Zoom’s AI Companion Security and Privacy Whitepaper are included at:
