Policy of the Mount Baker Rock and Gem Club Regarding The Recording of Club Meetings With An AI Tool

The Board of Directors approved a policy that using an artificial intelligence tool (an AI Notetaker) to record general meetings, meetings of the board of directors or other club events is not allowed. Should anyone attending a meeting or event launch an AI Notetaker, they are required to halt the recording and delete the recording.

Read the policy and rationale near the bottom of the “About the Club” page.
