Doug Raymond Discusses Legal Risks of Using AI Note Takers in The New York Times

The article raises concerns about the tool’s lack of context and discretion, warning that an AI bot recording every word of a board meeting, even tangential remarks, could be legally perilous.

“You want to make sure that the minutes, if they get into a courtroom, are going to not only be accurate but also are going to have the emphasis that the board would like,” Raymond explained.
