Zoom CEO Eric Yuan wants AI clones in meetings

Zoom CEO Eric Yuan describes a vision in which people send AI "digital twins," deepfake avatars of themselves, to attend meetings and make decisions on their behalf. In a Decoder interview with Nilay Patel, Yuan says Zoom is moving from videoconferencing into a broader Workplace platform, positioned against Microsoft and Google in enterprise software, with the Zoom AI Companion as a central feature. He says AI could handle about 90 percent of work within five or six years, though he also says AI cannot replace in-person interaction, and he suggests this could support a four-day or three-day workweek.
