Next webinar:
* *Speaker*: Emily M. Bender (University of Washington)
* *Title*: Meaning making with artificial interlocutors and risks of
language technology
* *Date*: Nov 2, 2023, 16:00 CET
* *Summary*: Humans make sense of language in context, bringing to
bear their own understanding of the world including their model of
their interlocutor's understanding of the world. In this talk, I
will explore various potential risks that arise when we as humans
bring this sense-making capacity to interactions with artificial
interlocutors. That is, I will ask what happens in conversations
where one party has no (or extremely limited) access to meaning and
all of the interpretative work rests with the other, and briefly
explore what this entails for the design of language technology.
* *Bio*: Emily M. Bender is a Professor of Linguistics and an Adjunct
Professor in the School of Computer Science and the Information
School at the University of Washington, where she has been on the
faculty since 2003. Her research interests include multilingual
grammar engineering, computational semantics, and the societal
impacts of language technology. In 2022 she was elected as a Fellow
of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
