TITLE: Bias in Automatic Speech Recognition: The Case of African American Language
DATE: Nov 12, 2024
TIME: 4:00โ€“4:30 p.m. EDT

DETAILS:
Many modern technologies, such as Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems, have been shown to have significant racial biases, which can impact many areas of peopleโ€™s lives. We seek to integrate research on African American Languages into analysis on how ASRs could prove harmful to many speakers. In this webinar, we pose a number of questions for reflection and future work, and offer resources for cross-disciplinary collaboration towards more equitable engagement with technological systems.
