"This Wasn't Made for Me": ASR Bias Hurts Users Emotionally and Cognitively

A new research paper highlights the emotional and psychological toll of bias in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems. The study, which involved user experience research in four U.S. locations, found that participants often felt technologies failed to accommodate their cultural backgrounds. This led to feelings of inadequacy and frustration, as users performed significant invisible labor, such as code-switching and hyper-articulation, to make the systems functional. The paper argues that traditional accuracy metrics for algorithmic fairness overlook these critical dimensions of harm. AI

影响 Highlights the need for ASR evaluation beyond accuracy metrics to include user experience and emotional impact.

排序理由 Academic paper on bias in ASR systems.
