The Language Project Podcast
Come and take a listen to all the ways that language impacts our society! In this podcast we'll explore various topics related to language - everything from how it defines us as humans, how it manifests itself in our technology and our media and arts and impacts the way we think, and how its automation makes our lives easier but also brings its own set of ethical challenges. I'll be joined by many special guests whose own lives have been notably impacted by language, as well as experts in the field of linguistics.

Episode 8
In this podcast, I continue my discussion with Yoav Schlesinger in which we dig further into the ethics of AI. Join me as we hear him walk us through how something as seemingly benign as voice assistants can propagate bias through a 'stacking' effect with life altering consequences. We'll also hear about the similarities between the introduction of AI technologies and another messy introduction of technology from our history (spoiler alert: it has 4 wheels!) And we'll also discuss how the pandemic influenced our understanding and usage of AI.
