In certain cases, it can even breach two-party consent laws, and be a criminal act.

Ideally, never use these privacy-invasive tools ever. But if you do use them, you must ask for everyone's consent first, and respect their choice fully if they refuse to be recorded.

Our privacy and data protection law specialist would not only have a field day, he'd probably have a field month. Considering the gross negligence of the act, especially considering the sensitivity of data in question, the perpretator might get jailtime with pretty serious charges, plus i can imagine the incident getting national headlines.

Dear AI bros, I know this is especially tricky for you lot, but please think before you act.

My understanding:

YES, you must get clear consent for a recording in 2-party states, or itโ€™s illegal. That consent can come from a contract, but it is not implied.

YES, if youโ€™re using another tool to record people, you / the tool are required to actively seek consent, and in some cases destroy a recording if you donโ€™t get it.

YES, this also applies to AI tools; they donโ€™t magically get a pass on this rule.

Our lawyers strongly recommended getting explicit, documented consent for every recording as a best practice to ensure compliance

But yes. Always ask.
