Zoom: AI & Privacy (Nov.12, 1:00-2:00 PM, via Zoom)

Artificial intelligence offers powerful tools to make meetings more productive, from smart summaries to searchable recordings.

This workshop will explore how Zoom’s AI works, what it can (and can’t) do, and the potential risks to sensitive information. Participants will learn practical steps to configure AI features safely, recognize when not to use them, and safeguard their own and others’ privacy. By the end, you’ll be ready to take advantage of Zoom’s AI while staying in control of your data.
