Lawyers warn over legal risks from A.I. note-takers in meetings

San Antonio lawyer Jeffrey Gifford says he increasingly removes meeting bots before virtual corporate governance, securities and M&A discussions.
He argues A.I.-generated transcripts can capture jokes, offhand remarks and corrected statements that humans would omit from minutes, creating records in meetings that otherwise would not be recorded.
The concern comes as A.I. productivity tools spread across executives, boards and other business users, with some video-call apps allowing transcription to be switched on by default.
Could AI's 'perfect memory' of meetings actually protect companies more than it exposes them to legal risk?
With over 80% of staff using 'shadow AI', is a corporate ban on unapproved note-takers even enforceable?
