Everything You Do Is Being Recorded - The Atlantic

Your team is being recorded right now. And you probably approved it without realizing.

That AI meeting tool everyone's using? The one that "summarizes calls automatically"? It's capturing every internal conversation, every client negotiation, every unguarded comment.

I'm not saying this to scare you. I know you've already got enough to worry about — like that AI subscription you're paying for that nobody actually logs into anymore. You're not tech-stupid. You're just getting sold tools before you understand what they actually do inside your business.

Here's what the Atlantic piece on AI wearables and surveillance reminded me: most business owners are adopting AI reactively. Something looks useful, someone recommends it, you buy it. No one asks what data it collects, who owns it, or whether your team will trust it enough to actually use it.

The smarter move is one layer simpler. Before your next AI purchase, ask three questions: What problem does this solve today? Who on my team will use it tomorrow? What does it record or store?

That filter alone will save you thousands and buy back your confidence in this space.

Which AI tool did you buy that quietly became shelfware — and do you know what data it still has access to?
