IT warns recordings could be misused; committee asks for options
Summary
IT staff told the committee that publicly posted meeting audio/video could be altered or used to produce AI fakes and proposed options ranging from unlisted links to staff-only access; the committee asked IT to return with costed options next month.
County IT staff told supervisors the countyposts meeting audio and video publicly but that recorded material could be altered or used to create deceptive AI-generated content. Mike Colson outlined options including invitation-only live access, audio-only posting, restricting Zoom video posting, requiring remote participants to call in, or storing files in a secured proprietary format to reduce download risks.
Colson noted posting to YouTube is cost-free for the county but acknowledged that once something is public online it can be copied. Several supervisors said they favored restricting public posting to protect the county from potential misuse while preserving live access; others stressed transparency and asked how residents would view meetings if recordings were not on YouTube. The committee asked IT to return next month with a written list of options and estimated costs.
