[00:00:00]Your AI just learned to speak, but it's still can't hear you. If you have an accent, it's probably ignoring you.

[00:00:06]Right now, researchers tested major voice assistants with 2,000 non-native English speakers. Siri, Alexa, Google none understood 47% of responses correctly. The study, Stanford and University of Washington, 2024 [music] data. It gets worse. Heavy accents have a 34% higher error rate than native speakers. Why? Because AI training data is 60% from native English speakers. If your accent isn't in the data set, the AI isn't trained for it. That's not bias, that's systematic exclusion by design. Now imagine this, medical advice bots, job interview AI, >> [music] >> customer service chatbots all failing you because of how you sound. This isn't just frustrating, it's a digital divide in real time. So, what do you do? First, speak slower and over-enunciate. Second, demand better data sets.
