Does this mean Zoom expects their users to take on the legal burden if someone on a call uses a copyrighted image on a PowerPoint slide?

Make no mistake, zoom will prevail in court or any legal proceedings that may come up around this for at least a few years if not indefinitely.
It would take an act of literally Congress or a court ruling that they can’t do this.
So, the only way to get into court and win on this is to have zoom “injure” someone (hard to prove), then that injured person has to have enough money to pay a law firm for lengthy trials with zoom including, to be sure, multiple higher court appeals.
Bottom line, for zoom to be prevented from doing any of this it’s going to cost probably in the millions of dollars of legal fees and fairly significant numbers of people who were injured by this before anything could start to happen to make something like this not possible.
It seems that Zoom expects you not to use IP material on Zoom and if you do, you are the one to blame. Now that Zoom is harvesting everyone's content, video and transcripts, things will get very, very interesting.
So if you discuss/use company IP on a zoom call, Zoom's future AI can reproduce it freely.
We’ve already been through all of this with social networks, no?
So, perhaps, I would have been fine using it under the previous terms, but under the new terms, I need to be aware the Zoom may, at any point in the future, utilize it for some other, undisclosed, purpose there's no way that I can use it.
How can anyone use Zoom at this point, considering the liability they are foisting onto their customers?
I’m curious if there is a distinction between consumer and business accounts, although based on the responses here, I’m guessing there isn’t one.
When you post on social media, you’re posting information publicly (or semi-publicly). When you say, or show, something on a zoom call, there’s an expectation of privacy between the participants of the call. Zoom is now saying no, there isn’t, because they’re going to use the content of your calls to train their AI.
