I know this is also a legal question, but I sometimes wonder about ML-based meeting transcription and summary services. Pre-ML, if you wanted to record a meeting, the de-facto process (at least in the US) was to announce before the meeting that it was going to be recorded, and then announce once you started recording that it was being recorded. Now that we're in an ML world, the default seems to be transcription and summarization is turned on and none of the meeting attendees are asked and most do not have the ability to turn it off.

That feels hinky to me...

It certainly has a chilling effect. Meetings where there are robust discussions may become a thing of the past.
