⚠️ Important Notice: AI Companion and Meeting Recordings

Before enabling or using Zoom AI Companion, please be aware of the data privacy risks involved when allowing AI to process or summarize meeting content.

Zoom AI Companion recordings and summaries should not be used for meetings involving sensitive or protected data (e.g., P3 or P4–classified information).

For non-sensitive or general meetings, the feature is generally considered safe, and UCI has not restricted its use.
However, always use discretion and avoid sharing confidential, personally identifiable, or regulated information in AI-assisted sessions.
