Harvard Business Review published one of my PhD comps papers

Then Samantha Bee cited it
“Speech recognition is another form of AI that performs worse for women and non-white people….”
“Wildly brilliant, disruptive ideas do not come from one small homogenous population.”
“Voice tech is poised to disrupt human-computer interaction as we know it, and including a respect for diversity can be brought to the forefront from the first waves of voice technology in the tech ecosystem.
In our community, I hope you find confidence, guidance, and strength to pay it back and pay it forward”
