Linguists Versus 'AI' Speech Analysis (with Nicole Holliday), 2025.03.17

Nicole Holliday, Acting Associate Professor of Linguistics at UC Berkeley, dives into the world of AI speech analysis tools. She critiques their ability to measure communication and emotions, revealing them as ineffective 'bossware' with little real insight. The conversation explores ethical concerns around privacy, especially for neurodivergent individuals, and discusses the mystification of language inherent in these technologies. Holliday highlights the potential biases in AI tools and the psychological impact of rating metrics like filler words on individuals during meetings.
