Interview Sign-Up "Understanding Limitations of Voice Technology"
We are a team at Columbia University aiming to explore the underlying structural problems creating racial and cultural inequity in smart voice technology. This could manifest as difficulties that your device (Alexa, Google Home, etc.) may have in understanding your accent or culture-specific terms, or in any other negative experiences with that technology. This survey serves as a sign-up sheet for interview (takes < 3 minutes!)
As approved by IRB, interviews will take place via
Zoom
and will last for
one hour
. You will be paid $20 for your time. We will send out more information once we receive this form.
You will receive compensation for your time, and we will ensure that all of your personal information is anonymized.
If you have any questions, please reach out to us via long@cs.columbia.edu
