SDP Planning Committee Meeting September 2024
The Planning Committee convened on September 19, 2024, to address important topics ranging from AI note-taking tools to upcoming co-chair elections and funding for key initiatives. Facilitated by Walied, the meeting began with a Land and African Ancestral Acknowledgment, followed by a review of the agenda and updates on upcoming Social Development Plan (SDP) events and interactions with City of Toronto staff and local Councillors.
One of the most debated topics was the use of OTTER AI note-taker bots during meetings. Adonis Huggins, the co-chair of the Communications working group of the SDP, facilitated a discussion about whether these bots comply with the current meeting recording policy. Some members raised concerns about privacy, noting that the AI bots send transcriptions to all invitees, regardless of whether they attended. Many argued that the bots could create issues by recording and sharing information without full consent from participants.
As the meeting concluded, key decisions on AI, leadership, and funding were tabled for further discussion, ensuring the committee remains focused on transparency, community involvement, and strategic growth.
