After the previous statement that it would use user data to train artificial intelligence models, which caused many users to protest, although ZoomSubsequent adjustmentsThe terms of use emphasize that the user's data will not be used to train artificial intelligence without the user's permission. However, in order to further convince users, the terms of use have been adjusted again to clearly state that any user's meeting content, discussion messages, uploaded files, etc. through Zoom will not be used for artificial intelligence training.
The adjustment of the terms of use is obviously intended to improve the gray area of interpretation that still existed in previous updates, and to correct the situation where users previously criticized that they had to agree to the relevant terms of use before they could successfully access the Zoom service.
Prior to this, Zoom stated that it would use relevant data for artificial intelligence training with user consent, and use it for experimental services, including IQ Meeting Summary, which can automatically summarize the key points of the meeting, and IQ Team Chat Compose, which automatically drafts letter discussion content. However, the options provided to users are only "agree to the relevant terms of use and join the meeting" or "reject the terms and leave the meeting". Therefore, it is considered that users are forced to agree to provide their data content to Zoom.
In a subsequent statement, Zoom's Chief Product Officer Smita Hashim emphasized that all data acquisition will be subject to user consent. She also stated that the data will only be used for artificial intelligence training to improve service functions and accuracy, and that the data will not be provided to third parties for use.
