Apple AI tool transcribed the word 'racist' as 'Trump'


Experts have questioned the company's explanation that it is due to the two words being similar.

Prof Bell said Apple's explanation of phonetic overlap did not make sense because the two words were not similar enough to confuse an artificial intelligence (AI) system. Speech-to-text recognition models are trained by inputting clips of real people speaking alongside an accurate transcript of what they say. Prof Bell says the situation with Apple is unlikely to be a genuine mistake with its data because its English language model would be trained on hundreds of thousands of hours of speech, which should give it a high level of accuracy.
