  Yeah just don’t be using teams and slack as your personal chatroom. It’s already a bad idea to be doing that anyway.

  shrug

  I already assumed I’m being monitored on my work devices, and write my emails and chats like they’re going to be used in a deposition.

  If I’m shit-talking someone, it’s in person or on my personal device.

  Just a short jump to more invasive AI assisted snooping and analytics on spoken word conversations too.

    Why stop there? Snoop on phone conversations too since high res zoom is cheap AF these days

  This will also be used against union organizing attempts as well which sucks.

    I mean, you probably shouldn’t be organizing against your company using company communication channels

  AI interacts with data thats already there, its not a data collector.

    This is true, but AI can be used as a tool to summarize and otherwise distill a massive amount of information to a form that someone can make sense of. It was probably cost prohibative to go through this data before or making specific snooping tools.

      All these folks talking in work chats in encryption algorithms and riddles, if only a technology could make these words legible.

  If your company uses the Microsoft ecosystem, have a look at the search function in Delve or SharePoint or whatever the fuck they’re calling the shared employee document repository this week.

  At one point, I don’t know if you still can, the search would scan meeting transcriptions if the organizer fucked up the privacy settings.

  I searched for naughty bigboy words and came across a transcript of two employees (who had since left the company) just absolutely shittalking a manager.

  Besides some hilarious typos I also found some old chat logs where I was using some colourful language. Deleted that. Hopefully it’s proper gone and HR won’t find it.
