Why have fewer meetings when you could just send your AI clone instead?

Zoom founder Eric Yuan has big ambitions in enterprise software, including letting your AI-powered ‘digital twins’ attend meetings for you.

    People still need to know what was said. Presumably their AI clone can send them a quick summary.

    And they have to give their AI clone instructions. I guess you can just give it a few points it needs to mention and who to tell them to.

    It seems to me like you could send the instructions to the people who need to read them and skip the part where a bunch of AIs translate it into hours of video and back. Though the AI clone thing does give you a way to deal with that guy who loves the sound of his own voice.

      “Hey Zoom AI… Filibuster”

      In all seriousness, the potential use cases for this are more useful for senior management than for the employees who actually have to have the meetings. Being able to have your avatar sit in on a meeting and get a condensed transcript to skim later still gives you a more accurate idea about what was actually said in the meeting than a report or the meetings minutes. The AI doesnt have an axe to grind on bias.
