Zoom Generative AI Features
Zoom has introduced a new set of features that uses generative artificial intelligence (AI), called Zoom AI Companion, which automates Zoom Meeting and Team Chat summaries. The following tools for UChicago Zoom users (faculty, students, and staff) will be available on February 20:
- Meeting Summary: Allows meeting hosts to initiate an AI-generated summary of their meetings. When the host enables this feature in a meeting, participants can receive a summary after the meeting ends.
- Smart Recording: Processes cloud meeting recordings to create “smart” chapters, highlights, summaries, and next steps.
(Note: due to the cloud recording policy, UChicago Medicine, Biological Sciences Division, and student accounts are ineligible to use smart recording unless they have received a prior exception from their privacy office.)
- Team Chat Thread Summary: Condenses chat discussions on the Zoom Team Chat tool and summarizes messages in a thread within the Zoom desktop application.
Users can view the available AI Companion features in their account settings and manage which features they would like to enable or disable in the online Zoom web portal. Users will also see the AI Companion features in the Zoom desktop application, where meeting hosts can enable or disable AI Companion features in the current meeting.
