Different AI systems may interpret conversations differently, leading to inconsistencies in action items or key takeaways. Plus, several AI bots in the meeting can impact human interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"20-balance-ai-with-human-judgment\">Balance AI with human judgment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI can process data and generate insights faster than any human, but it doesn\u2019t have the nuance of human experience.
