Effective immediately, third-party AI add-ons integrated with Zoom and Microsoft Teams, such as Fireflies.ai, Otter.ai, Read.ai, and other meeting summarization apps, have been disabled across the UT network. This decision is the result of an in-depth security review that identified potential vulnerabilities that could compromise the privacy and integrity of communications in university meetings.
All university members should refrain from attempting to use or re-install any third-party AI tools until further notice.
We understand that some of you have come to rely on these AI features for enhanced productivity and convenience during virtual meetings. If so, you can still use the summarization features built into Microsoft Teams (transcription and recording) and Zoom (Zoom AI companion).
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we navigate these changes together while continuing to prioritize the security of UT Health Science Center data and resources.
