The AI part isn't the bad part. It's the "use for marketing", like gMail.

How does this add up with E2EE?

They claim they can’t read anything passing through the server. Is there some other way they’ll get access?

e2ee is not the default, and is incompatible with some of their other features like "cloud recordings".

they also got caught being malicious and/or dumb in the past (https://www.businessinsider.com/china-zoom-data-2020-4) so there's no reason to bother with them now.

I have not had a chance to read up on this yet but does zoom not have a paid version or corporate version that would not follow under these same TOS? If not it seems crazy like a shot in the foot because lots of businesses use zoom and I know most want or are required to use privacy preserving programs.
