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.
