Title: Designing Technologies for Overcoming Language Barriers

Abstract:

As AI becomes increasingly integrated into our daily lives, it is starting to play a significant role in global collaboration. In this talk, I will explore the various ways technology can support multilingual collaboration. Specifically, I will discuss how AI empowers non-native speakers through tools like Grammarly and real-time transcription, and enhances equity with tools like machine translation and conversational agents that moderate interactions. However, each approach presents its own challenges. I will examine the complexities and difficulties associated with each approach, discussing how AI can foster more effective and inclusive global communication.
