Reducing bias in our models and systems
One of the challenges with AI models is bias. This is well documented - and has been discussed elsewhere like here
We shipped significant changes, by applying better guard rails and using our proprietary AI guard rails
These changes lead to:
- more gender diversity (before: ~ 1/3 male voices, now: ~50% male/50% female
- less gender mismatches (avoiding e.g. “Hi, I’, m Sarah…” spoken by male voice
- less gender-biased outcomes (e.g. ads on cleaning products have same chance for male/female voice)
