A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Otter.ai, claiming the company recorded private conversations without participants' consent to enhance its transcription service. The lawsuit asserts that Otter's AI-powered tool, which can transcribe meetings in real-time from platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, alert participants and seeks to represent others in California whose conversations were unknowingly shared. Allegations include violating privacy and wiretap laws, with users expressing concerns over unintentional sharing of sensitive information and negative impacts on business dealings due to automated recordings.
