Pitfalls to watch at work

Descript

A cloned voice can "say" things the person never said: agree voice edits with the person on the recording
A client meeting recording is uploaded to the service's cloud: for confidential negotiations use a corporate plan or local editing
Transcription in less common languages has errors, so test such recordings on five minutes first

Miro AI

The model groups sticky notes by wording, so similar ideas phrased differently land in different groups: review the result with the team
Boards with an open link get indexed by third-party services and show up in search: close access after the session
AI credits are shared across the team and run out in the middle of a big session
