Meetings Became Training Data. The Company That Captures Them Owns the Next System of Record.

Originally published on tech.kainjoo.com.

TLDR: For leaders, a company’s recorded conversation is becoming its most valuable and least-governed asset, and setting the recording default is now a deliberate leadership decision.

You onboard AI the way you onboard people

As a16z’s David Haber puts it, workplace recording “just happened”, and a model onboarded on two years of meetings absorbs an organisation’s real decision-making in a way one that read the wiki never will. This quietly rewards verbal cultures — the Shopifys and OpenAIs — over those that lose their context nightly.

Defaults set the culture

Haber expects recording to flip from opt-in to opt-out within six months. In Thaler and Sunstein’s terms, the default does the work — so the leadership task is to choose that default deliberately, with an “AC Priv” carve-out for sensitive HR and legal conversations, and within the consent law of each market (United States two-party consent, the European Union’s GDPR, Switzerland’s revised FADP), before it sets itself.
