We Need to Talk About How We Talk About 'AI' | TechPolicy.Press We share a responsibility to create and use empowering metaphors rather than misleading language, write Emily M. Bender and Nanna Inie.

Anthropomorphizing language can be cute when applied to your favorite car, but it helps to muddy the discourse when applied to tech sold as "AI". New from me & @nannainie.bsky.social on @techpolicypress.bsky.social -- how to spot & revise away from anthropomorphizing language applied to "AI"

“Hé Siri, wat voor weer wordt het?” Steeds meer mensen praten tegen hun telefoon. Maar spraakherkenning werkt niet voor iedereen. Werk van @odettes.bsky.social, @yuanyuanzhang.bsky.social en Matthijs Valkering lijkt daar nu voorzichtig verandering in te brengen.

Using speech technology to improve communication is super important and @yuanyuanzhang.bsky.social is taking the first important steps with Matthijs Valkering. Incidentally, she shows that a personalised ASR system beats humans in recognising dysarthric speech by a large margin 🤩
