That’s fine, just have the AIs book random meetings with each other, while the humans meet for human meetings. Then bill the AI companies a full convention ticket for each AI that attended the other AIs’ meetings.

I’ve been to a few conferences that did things like this (that predates “AI”) and it is actually a REALLY good idea that encourages people who are just there to give a talk or who are socially awkward to actually network.

The key is that it needs to only make suggestions and not actually send calendar invites. And it needs to be opt-in until at least one human says “Yeah, that is a good idea. See if Fred wants to meet some time tomorrow” and only then do the other parties get a push/email asking if they are free.

NBD, just reschedule the meetings to take place in the VR Metaverse, use the blockchain to track the appointments, and afterward head to the bar on your Segway.

Just have your AI assistant attend the meeting and take notes for you.

Literally scheduled stupidity. I’m actually surprised they were this upfront with it being AI and reacted this quickly to backlash. This could’ve gotten a lot worse with a lesser understanding team believe it or not.
