AI Companion
Zoom’s AI Companion is now available for UC San Diego Zoom (https://ucsd.zoom.us). While the Zoom AI Companion is disabled by default, UC San Diego Zoom users may optionally choose to enable AI features under their individual Zoom account settings. Our Zoom AI Companion page provides feature documentation as well as the privacy and data security considerations of using AI assistants, such as Zoom AI, to capture administrative meetings and educational meetings and classes.
Ensuring the ethical use of AI and maintaining a balance between automation and human input is crucial for maximizing the benefits while mitigating the risks. As such, the Campus Privacy Office authored guidelines to assist UC San Diego in embracing the benefits of these technologies while reducing the risks associated with them.
Note:
It is important to review the entire Guidelines for uses of AI Assistants on the Privacy Office's website. There you will find full definitions, allowable and prohibited uses, authorized users, and approved tools. Please also realize that the General Guidelines for Capturing Administrative Meetings, Capturing Educational Meetings and Classes apply to all meetings where capturing occurs "by automated or technical means including recording, using AI assistants (e.g., Zoom AI Companion, Otter.ai), or enabling transcriptions."Upgrade
