The first part of this webinar I did last week will be relevant to anyone who teaches in HE - it addresses the linguistic accessibility that GenAI enables if it's used for language adjustment, and that students should be allowed to use it that way.

It’s really difficult to overstate how many pedagogical problems that seem impossible to solve are actually just a function of classes being too big.

We could help kids, and all people who speak stigmatised varieties of languages, by designing the tools to function equally in the full diversity of Englishes. Instead of making ppl conform to the standard, make tools accessible for diverse populations. x.com/AnjneyMidha/st…

Gen z is visual. @DavidSHolz quickly realized that and used AI to solve the problem by shipping /describe (image -> prompt) So that story has a happy ending. But the underlying issue is one of education If natural language is the UI for AI, the kids need a lot more help

The kids do NOT speak “broken” English or struggle to translate thought to language. It’s that these tools are trained primarily on standard, prestige varieties of language so that is how they function best. The tools are biased against linguistic diversity because society is.
Anjney Midha@AnjneyMidha

One the saddest realizations for me when we were scaling the @midjourney server at @discord in ‘22 was seeing millions of US gen z kids struggle to prompt They literally don’t have the words. Broken english. Pidgin lingo. Translating thought to language is insanely hard for them

@LSchuwirth So sorry to hear this. What a horror story! As I said to the parliamentary inquiry (on Hansard!) if we rolled this out across Australian higher ed we would expect 60k false positives per semester.

Guides like this only address using GenAI to generate content and ideas, but ignore ways of using it for language adjustment - which maintains human thought, creativity, ideas, has basically little to no risk of hallucination, bias and plagiarism, and enhances accessibility.

"there's something especially pernicious about text generators in academia, where writing is not merely an output but a means of thinking, crediting, arguing, structuring thoughts. Hollowing out these skills carries foundational risks" @DingemanseMark tinyurl.com/44samxwe

What is the present and future of academic writing in the age of Large Language Models? I put together some questions to guide our collective reflection. Comments, suggestions, criticisms welcome. 🔗👇

Today I gave a workshop at NIDA to their Cultural Leadership cohort. Students were brilliant and very aware of the state of things. Interestingly enough, in a room full of artists and creators, 80% were using AI tools. The rest chose not to but are now interested to explore.

This is such wonderful work! There’s increasingly fewer excuses for not being linguistically inclusive in academia, with the current state and rapid developments in language tech.

30% of non-native English speakers often decide not to attend an international conference due to #languagebarriers. @ICCB2025 we are seriously trying to reduce language barriers as much as possible. See our initiatives here: conbio.org/mini-sites/icc… Our initiatives include:
