How can it slow down? To get investment, every company has to at least claim to use AI. My company measures and ranks people based on their use of Gemini. It hasn’t made it into our performance reviews yet, but there is shaming for not using it. “Come on, we’re paying for it, make use of it”. I haven’t even figured out how to make good use of it in my normal routine. Which is legitimately 75% meetings. Maybe I need to send bots to meetings.
Legitimately, bots for meetings is the one place where it's largely useful. You can have it just summarize what was said. That and receiving emails, which people are using AI to extend for no damn reason so other people have to use AI to read them.
It really depends on the kind of meeting or why the meeting is being held.
I guess it's fine if you are just being talked at for the entire meeting and there is no expectation for your input (but at that point maybe this meeting could've just been an email?).
