The entire industry is one court case away from banning transcription. Not many companies want every word of every meeting legally discoverable - in the past, meetings were used to avoid having a written record. The implications of ubiquitous transcriptions haven't percolated yet, I give 1-3 years (or until the next major case)
This is all of course sanctioned by leadership and the teams who have standing (legal, IT, cybersecurity). Just because something is allowed doesn't mean I'll opt to do it. If I worked somewhere that hasn't been using corporate spyware on all employee laptops and face recognition around the building since long before auto transcription came in vogue I might feel differently about the decision to embrace the surveillance for productivity.
I don't have the authority to make the meaningful decisions, just to do my job efficiently.
