On some level, it feels like every platform uses AI. Meeting summaries, virtual assistants, document curation, and more are now an assumed part of daily life, sometimes whether organizations have approved them or not.
But as AI speeds ahead, IT and security leaders face some fundamental questions:
Which AI tools can we trust? What happens to the data we use with AI? How can we protect ourselves as we use AI?
Sensitive meeting transcripts, customer conversations, proprietary documents, and whiteboards are more than just data points. They're intellectual property, regulated content, and often what sets an organization apart from its competition. When this type of data is used with AI, business leaders and IT teams need to know that they’re not being exposed to unnecessary risk.
As AI capabilities grow, it’s more important than ever to understand how your vendors handle data. By taking advantage of admin settings and control panels, you can align AI adoption with your organization’s privacy and compliance requirements and move forward with confidence instead of compromise.
When comparing AI systems, it’s critical to look beyond the list of features to how clearly they communicate data use, how well they protect your data, and how easily they allow you to govern AI access and behavior.
If you’re navigating AI adoption across your organization, it’s time to examine the systems and standards behind the features more closely.
AI adoption is moving fast.
Make sure your security strategy keeps up.
Whether you’ve already rolled out AI in your organization or you’re just starting the process, it’s always a good time to better understand how AI tools factor into security and privacy. It’s about striking a balance between finding useful tools that help your teams manage their workload, but are still convenient and respectful of their data.
What should you look for in an AI solution? Realistically, you should seek:
-
A clear data lifecycle with purpose-based processing
-
Options to manage specific features, with information into how they work
-
Security reviews (not just for software, but for training data and models)
Remember, the goal is to use accessible, capable, and trustworthy AI tools. You shouldn’t have to trade one for another when your organization really needs all three.
At Zoom, our core philosophy on customer data and privacy for our generative AI features is simple:
-
Zoom does not use any customer audio, video, chat, screen sharing, attachments, or other communications-like customer content (such as poll results, whiteboard, and reactions) to train Zoom’s or its third-party artificial intelligence models.
For a deeper dive into our processes, attend our webinar with Lisa Owings (chief privacy officer) and Sandra McLeod (chief information security officer), where they discuss how Zoom approaches AI Companion privacy and security. Their perspective can help your team:
-
Understand what data is used, how it is processed, and where it is stored
-
Learn how a flexible deployment strategy supports control and transparency
-
See how a secure development lifecycle applies to AI systems
-
Explore admin and user-level controls that help tailor deployment
-
Identify best practices for rolling out AI features in regulated or risk-sensitive environments
