The consent duty for AI in meetings is being litigated right now. This tracker follows the active matters; it describes allegations, not outcomes.

The pattern across every one of these

Vendors argue the consent duty belongs to the account holder — the organization running the meeting. Whatever the outcomes, the organizations that can produce a consent record for every meeting are the ones with nothing to prove in discovery.

Litigation is one driver — the statutory one is the EU AI Act. Read the Article 50 guide.
