Proud to be one of the researchers behind SHADES, the dataset featured in this @wired.com article, alongside @tiagotorrent.com. SHADES tackles bias across cultures and languages, pushing for more inclusive, multilingual AI. 🔗 www.wired.com/story/ai-bia... #AI #NLP #BiasInAI #MultilingualAI #SHADES
AI Is Spreading Old Stereotypes to New Languages and Cultures
Margaret Mitchell, an AI ethics researcher at Hugging Face, tells WIRED about a new dataset designed to test AI models for bias in multiple languages.

Why are some futures harder to imagine, explain or understand? We wondered too — so we built a methodology to measure how people think about future scenarios (and how much effort it takes). 🚀 Excited to share that our FutureVision paper was accepted to #CogSci2025! Curious?👇 arxiv.org/pdf/2502.01597
Fantastic discussion today in my Lang&Cognition grad seminar at UFJF! We kicked off our exploration of how human cognition shapes our thinking about the future with the Decode the Future game by Future Today @amywebb.bsky.social. The seminar is a test flight of FutureMind, my book w/ Mark Turner.
Hello, #AI #NLProc and #Linguistics folks! Come join us for the 6th International FrameNet Workshop in Japan! More at globalframenet.org/ifnw-2025

Gretchen McCulloch@gretchenmcculloch.com · 3y agoHey. The fragmentation of the social media landscape has been hard on indie #scicomm 🧪 projects So if you'd like to follow a podcast that's enthusiastic about #linguistics, could you check out @lingthusiasm.bsky.social? And if you think your followers might like to, could you give this a repost?
AI chatbots 🤖 are a hot topic 🔥 But what if we shift the conversation from what they can do with language to what they can do for the Linguist? That’s the topic of our new Cambridge University Press book Copilots for Linguists: AI, Constructions, and Frames. DOWNLOAD FOR FREE 🧵👇
Multimodal AI is the newest kid on the block. But how do the kinds of datasets used to train them and NLProc methods involved in building them correlate to limitations on their performance? That’s the big Q I intend to answer in my talk at ICMC2023! cognitivescience.hunnu.edu.cn/ICMC2023/hom...
