where do companies draw the line?

FULL STORY
======================================================================Report 
claims Gen Z and hybrid workers are using AI to take notes instead of 
attending meetings Users are seeing more promotions and earning higher 
salaries However AI might not pick up on nuance, tone or intent 

Younger workers are reportedly favoring AI note-taking tools over attending 
meetings in person - with many saying this will allow them to focus on the 
work that matters. 

New research from Software Finder found one-fifth (19%) of workers now 
frequently use AI tools to take meeting notes, with hybrid workers (26%) 
twice as likely to adopt them compared with in-person employees (13%). 

Time savings (69%), reduced manual note-taking (41%) and improved record 
accuracy (27%) were highlighted as key benefits, but adopters are also seeing 
larger indirect benefits to their careers. Can AI replace meeting attendees? 

Software Finder's study found frequent AI note-takers are more likely to 
receive promotions (28%) than their counterparts (15%), while they also tend 
to earn higher salaries on average ($86,000 vs. $67,700). 

Workers are saving over an hour each week just by using AI note-takers, but 
the usual concerns remain. Inaccuracy and loss of nuance (48%), privacy 
concerns (46%), data security risks (42%) and misinterpretation of tone or 
intent (32%) were among the most frequently cited. 

One-quarter also noted an overreliance on AI, with 87% admitting that their 
workload would increase if AI note-takers stopped working. Still, 29% of 
workers say theyve skipped meetings, leaving it up to AI  something thats 
more common among Gen Z (43%) than millennials (30%). 

Still, not all meetings are created equal, and some are more suited to AI 
note-takers than others. Brainstorming sessions (53%), project status and 
updates (45%) and strategic planning meetings (43%) are among the most 
suitable, with training/onboarding (39%) and team check-ins (37%) better when 
a human in present  unsurprisingly. 

Although the data suggests that a shift away from in-person meetings might 
not be a bad thing, with workers able to exploit AI to cut out administrative 
work and focus on creative output, its still a line that needs to be 
navigated with care.
