A class-action lawsuit alleges Otter.ai, a popular AI transcription service, secretly records private conversations without user consent. The suit, filed by Justin Brewer, claims Otter uses these recordings to train its AI, violating privacy laws. Otter claims data is de-identified, but the suit questions the effectiveness of this process. The lawsuit seeks to represent others in California whose conversations were unknowingly shared, highlighting concerns about privacy violations and data security in increasingly popular workplace AI tools.
