Why?
The Zoom AI Companion, a generative Artificial Intelligence digital assistant, is set to “allowed” at the WPI Zoom account level. Individual meeting hosts can activate or disable the Zoom AI Companion in their own account settings. Attendees receive a prompt announcing the host's intent to use AI Companion and can request it be turned off.
Impact
Zoom AI Companion options are available to all WPI Zoom accounts. While the feature has been in use for the past several months, ITS has updated the meeting invite language to incorporate Zoom AI Companion notification and WPI's Global Privacy Notice.
Action Needed
Please view the Actions for instructions and additional Zoom resources, including how Zoom uses the data.
