AI-powered transcription and note-taking tools are helping local governments run more efficient meetings, but have you checked your default settings lately?

Many agencies now rely on these tools, but overlooking a few key details could impact:

✅ Accuracy of records

🔒 Security and access control

♿ Accessibility and public transparency

Before your next recorded meeting, consider:

• Are recordings classified as public records under your policies?
• Do they align with your records retention schedule?
• Are staff and attendees aware of disclosure requirements when recording?
• Could AI-generated notes discourage open, authentic participation?

Even small adjustments to your settings can significantly improve compliance and trust.
