Zoom CEO wants to create AI digital clones to go to meetings for you
NY Post
Meetings might soon become a thing of the past.
The CEO of Zoom is hoping to create “digital-twin technology” so workers can have an artificial intelligence version of themselves attend meetings and participate in other time-consuming parts of the workday.
“I can send a digital version of myself to join so I can go to the beach,” Eric Yuan told The Verge.
A “digital twin” is essentially a deepfake version of yourself that would be able to attend your meetings and even make decisions on your behalf.
The 54-year-old CEO and his team at the video conferencing platform are working on leveraging AI to “fully automate” this aspect of work.
“Today we all spend a lot of time either making phone calls, joining meetings, sending emails, deleting some spam emails, and replying to some text messages, still very busy,” Yuan said.

It was a flashback to NYC in the 1990s.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
