Ethical Guidelines for Voice Experiences Webinar

Description

Are voice assistants becoming more sexist? Should the voice of a dearly departed relative be used to read a bedtime story? Are brands honoring choices on how voice data is collected, used, and shared? Can voice technology be fair and unbiased?

Join members of the Open Voice Network’s Ethical Use Task Force on Wednesday, 27 July at 18:00 CET / 12:00 ET / 9:00 PT for a 30-minute discussion on ethics in voice technology, focusing on their recently published Ethical Guidelines for Voice Experiences white paper.

This webinar will include a panel discussion and Q&A session. Guided by moderator Oita Coleman, the session will feature a trio of acclaimed panelists—Emily Banzhaf, Valeria Barbero, and Shilpi Agarwal. We look forward to sharing our findings with you!
