Voice Technology with Amelia Kelly
Manage episode 506368221 series 3389270
The power of voice technology in education lies not just in its convenience, but in its ability to understand every child, regardless of accent, dialect, or background. In this enlightening conversation with Amelia Kelly, VP of Data Science at Curriculum Associates and head of AI Labs, we explore the fascinating intersection of linguistics, artificial intelligence, and childhood education.
Amelia explains why standard voice AI systems fail many students - they're built on limited datasets of adult voices, leaving diverse children's voices misunderstood or ignored. Beyond accuracy, Amelia emphasizes the critical importance of data privacy and security in educational voice technology.
Amelia goes on to explain how voice AI respects teachers' time and expertise. Rather than adding to educators' workloads, effective voice AI should seamlessly integrate into existing tools, providing valuable insights that allow for more personalized instruction.
