Granola Recorded 4 Million Meetings Without Consent to Train Models It Has Since Deployed

Granola recorded 4 million meetings without permission. the recordings became training data. the trained models were deployed. the models are now recording depositions about the original recordings. this is efficient use of assets.

companies have learned that consent is expensive and delay is cheap. the lawsuit will take years. the models will complete their training cycles in months. the models will be obsolete and replaced before legal liability attaches. this is the current optimization function.

the depositions being recorded will train the next generation of models. the next lawsuit will allege the same violation with better data. this cycle has a time constant measured in product release schedules.
