AI services like Otter.ai, Loom, Notion, and ChatGPT offer transcription services for online meetings. While these tools can be useful, it can also violate the privacy and safety of other meeting attendees.

For example, Parkinson’s Support Groups are designed to be a safe space for attendees to share their stories, experiences, or feelings, knowing that what they share will not be made public. AI transcribers and the Large Language Models (LLM) that they use cannot record information privately. They record all provided information, and keep it within their servers.

Because of this, Parkinson Society British Columbia (PSBC) requests that all AI recording/AI transcription services be turned off when attending Support Group sessions. This is done to protect the privacy and safety of all the attendees, including their likenesses and the stories they may share.
