   Younger workers are skipping meetings - and trusting AI to take notes for them

   Description:   
   AI note-taker users are apparently more successful in their careers, but    
   where do companies draw the line?   
      
   FULL STORY   
      
   Younger workers are reportedly favoring AI note-taking tools over attending   
   meetings in person - with many saying this will allow them to focus on the   
   work that matters.    
      
   New research from Software Finder found one-fifth (19%) of workers now   
   frequently use AI tools to take meeting notes, with hybrid workers (26%)    
   twice as likely to adopt them compared with in-person employees (13%).    
      
   Time savings (69%), reduced manual note-taking (41%) and improved record   
   accuracy (27%) were highlighted as key benefits, but adopters are also seeing   
   larger indirect benefits to their careers.   
      
   Can AI replace meeting attendees?    
      
   Software Finder's study found frequent AI note-takers are more likely to   
   receive promotions (28%) than their counterparts (15%), while they also tend   
   to earn higher salaries on average ($86,000 vs. $67,700).    
      
   Workers are saving over an hour each week just by using AI note-takers, but   
   the usual concerns remain. Inaccuracy and loss of nuance (48%), privacy   
   concerns (46%), data security risks (42%) and misinterpretation of tone or   
   intent (32%) were among the most frequently cited.    
      
   One-quarter also noted an overreliance on AI, with 87% admitting that their   
   workload would increase if AI note-takers stopped working. Still, 29% of   
   workers say theyve skipped meetings, leaving it up to AI  something thats    
   more common among Gen Z (43%) than millennials (30%).    
      
   Still, not all meetings are created equal, and some are more suited to AI   
   note-takers than others. Brainstorming sessions (53%), project status and   
   updates (45%) and strategic planning meetings (43%) are among the most   
   suitable, with training/onboarding (39%) and team check-ins (37%) better when   
   a human in present  unsurprisingly.    
      
   Although the data suggests that a shift away from in-person meetings might    
   not be a bad thing, with workers able to exploit AI to cut out administrative   
   work and focus on creative output, its still a line that needs to be    
   navigated with care.
