Zoom CTO Says AI Adoption is Happening “Whether You Like it or Not”

During this one-on-one discussion with Zoom's Chief Technology Officer, Xuedong Huang, Newsweek’s Editorial Director of Nexus Gabriel Snyder demonstrated Zoom’s AI technology by letting the agent write the questions he would ask during the conversation. Huang said that these models can help with decision-making and add “high-value” to a company. “Why not have AI participating in the decision-making process [to] amplify your own productivity, your own vision, your own insight,” he said. Huang said Zoom’s AI companion offers the “best of the best” AI model by combining the collective intelligence of Antropic and OpenAI models with Zoom’s own small language model – comparing this suite to a committee of professors at a university. He said people who are concerned about having an AI model participate in their meetings should be open-minded, especially since he said, “this is happening whether you like it or not.” While privacy and data security concerns are valid, Huang assured the audience that Zoom’s AI companion is a safe and trusted model, noting that President Joe Biden announced his decision to not run for reelection to his staff on a Zoom call.
