As synthetic voices become indistinguishable from real ones, DIGIT spoke with psychologist Dr Neil Kirk about how our instinct to trust our own accents could make way for deepfakes targeting not just individuals, but entire regions.

New preprint of my #AIVOICE work - I used the Voice Changer feature on @elevenlabs and showed that listeners weren’t all that great at distinguishing natural from AI-enhanced voices, but were more likely to believe the voice was human when it spoke a familiar regional dialect.

"Eh? Aye!": Categorisation bias for natural human vs AI-enhanced voices is influenced by dialect. osf.io/skcv2/

An excellent start to #ICL2024 Francis Ameka in the first plenary flags a Western theoretical bias in linguistics and a crucial shift from Western standard languages to minority non-standardised languages. @DrNeilKirk you got a shoutout!

So this absolutely blew my mind, as someone who knows 4 languages and multiple dialects.
Also:
Is this why when I'm speaking French my brain also tries to speak Hindi?

I use the example of Scots - despite official recognition as a minority language, it's not always given that status even by speakers themselves.The paper summarises our previous work with Dundonian & Orcadian speakers, highlighting similar findings to bilingual research🧠🗣️
English
In this position piece, I outline the lack of diversity in the language varieties that are often studied in psycholinguistic research and how this can impact bilingual research by misclassifying some speakers as "monolingual" despite engaging cognitive mechanisms like bilinguals.

ICYMI - our paper with Orcadian speakers:
#SummaryLimerick
"There once were some speakers from Kirkwall,
who some might call 'monolingual',
But when their chantin's exhibited,
their Orcadian's inhibited.
Cognitively, it's like being a bilingual!"
