About this episode

Adrienne Barker debates the implications of using multiple AI assistants in virtual meetings.

Would you let four AI bots join your next Zoom meeting? In this lively debate, Adrienne Barker explores a modern workplace question few are prepared to answer: how many AI assistants are too many? As tools like Otter, Fathom, Fireflies, and Copilot crowd our virtual meetings, professionals must rethink what’s efficient, ethical, and secure. One side argues these digital helpers free us to focus on strategy and decision-making. The other warns they create duplication, confusion, and dangerous ambiguity around data ownership. Key Takeaways: → AI note-takers are redefining productivity but raising new questions about data control and privacy. → Multiple bots in one meeting can lead to duplicated data and unclear ownership. → Leaders risk outsourcing accountability when they rely too heavily on automation. → Clear organizational policies must guide AI use in meetings before etiquette erodes. → The balance between technology and trust defines the next era of professional communication. 🎧 Listen for: Real-world examples, ethical dilemmas, and bold ideas on how to manage AI assistants in your workplace before they start managing you. 🎯 Subscribe to The Professional Global Etiquette…
