A “Tech Tip” to “watch out for AI-enhanced video evidence in legal proceedings”?  THAT is the answer?

One thing that all of us at WUNCRA agree with about the foolish “tip” is that artificial intelligence remains a contentious issue.  We are lucky that it is still a contentious issue, and that there is still time to save the profession of stenography.  THAT is why the STRONG Committee MUST be reconstituted.  Members should be begging the STRONG Committee to please come back. Members should be DEMANDING that the Board of Directors override the DUMBEST MOVE of NCRA in the past 100 years!

Let us tell you, Tech Tip People, the STRONG Committee has made membership acutely aware that we should be watching out for artificial intelligence for years now.  Where the hell have you been?

Members do not trust the current president and executive director to protect our profession.  A LOT of damage will be done in one year without the STRONG Committee’s advocacy.  The current president is retired and no longer has skin in the game for machine stenography.  And, as we said before, it is time for an executive director that believes in and will fight for the profession of machine shorthand reporting, and not just for the business of NCRA. 

We’ve heard that the ED has that Board of Directors so wrapped around his fingers that they FEAR speaking out against him.  Have you noticed that individual board members never talk about their personal feelings about an issue?  We understand that’s because there are “all for one, and one for all” rules imposed by the executive director:  The Board MUST speak as one voice.  And if a board member speaks out of line, there are actually impeachment rules to evict them from the board.

Here’s a solution, Board of Directors:  A majority of board members need to demand that the STRONG Committee be reconstituted.  What do you think will happen?  Will they impeach all of you?  It is time to show membership that YOU believe in the profession, and take some action!

STOP LETTING THE TAIL WAG THIS DOG!

 WAKE UP, NCRA!
