Zoom introduces an AI-powered office suite, says AI avatars for meetings arrive this month

Zoom's simultaneously shipping deepfake detection and enabling AI avatars. That's not irony, that's incompetence.

Here's the thing: deepfake detection sounds good until your coworker's AI avatar shows up because they're "too busy." And detection is pointless if Zoom's literally generating deepfakes. They're solving a problem they created.

This screams "we have AI roadmap items to check off." The tech will be fine. The use cases? Nobody knows. And the second someone's avatar says something problematic, there's legal hell.
