AI notetakers move from meetings onto wearables, authors warn
Original title: The AI notetaker risk is now an everywhere problem
The essay says always-on watches and glasses can record without a visible bot, and shared summaries can leak other meetings.
A CSO Online essay argues that AI notetakers no longer need to join a call. It cites Granola’s July 28 Apple Watch app, Meta’s acquisition of Limitless, and a DEF CON ban on Meta-style smart glasses. The authors describe prompt injection, early narration to skew notes, silent crashes of other notetakers, transcript errors, and cross-meeting context leakage, then recommend disclosure, meeting bans, retention rules and vendor review.
Unconfirmed: Risk examples and the Campbell’s firing anecdote are the authors’ account, not independently verified here.
- Granola launched an Apple Watch app on July 28 that records with one tap.

- A class action, Brewer v. Otter.ai, alleges non-consensual recording and model training.
- Authors say undisclosed employee recording should be a fireable offense.
