Consequential Podcast: Language, Power and NLP
Natural language processing is the branch of artificial intelligence that allows computers to recognize, analyze and replicate human language. But when it’s hard enough for humans to say what they mean most of the time, it’s even harder for computers…
Human beings are creatures of habit*. Our routine behaviors are repeated regularly, often without our conscious awareness. When designing for AI experiences, such as voice or assistive features, we are competing with long-standing habits that people have formed to complete tasks. For teams working in this space, changing these habits means connecting a user’s problem…
