According to a post on Hacker News, Zoom's privacy policy now allows training AI on the content of meetings.
Unsure if this is new or if it had been the case for a while. Also unsure whether this applies only to the auto-transcription service or something wider (the language offers them an unconditional, irrevocable right, title, and interest in call data). If so, this could have significant privacy implications for educators and researchers.
