/ˈprɒksiˌsiːt/nounVerified New

Technology & AIWork & Economy

An AI notetaker or a colleague's recording sent to occupy one's seat at a meeting nobody intends to rewatch.

The bot joins, transcribes, and posts a summary that becomes the meeting's only reader. The seat is filled, the obligation is documented, and the human hour is refunded — into a meeting that is now three meetings of reading.

Etym. — proxy + seat: a body-free placeholder at the table.
