These are valuable and important, and perhaps the best that can be done, but this also reminds me of when Google Glass was first announced. People did not like the idea that the person you're talking to could be surreptitiously recording or photographing you. Similarly, people hate that Facebook may have a face recognition fingerprint for your face even if you don't use Facebook.
Recording meetings for later searching still feels weird in a similar sense. Even if I trust the way my data is handled when I use it, it's a violation of privacy norms in a way that feel "creepy" to be making a persistent record of things other people said to me in what is traditionally an ephemeral context.
(That said, this sounds like something I've occasionally wanted for a long time.)

I'd like two AI toys on top of it - embedding similarity search and question answering. The AI part can be executed easily with HuggingFace. There is a great QA model (FLAN) trained with multiple tasks, it can sort of do what GPT-3 does but locally, the private & cheap option.
