The culture behind machine language
Ever wondered how features like predictive text seem to know what you’re thinking?
Or, more importantly, have you considered how this technology could affect our culture?
Nick Kelly, a Senior Lecturer in Interaction Design with Queensland University of Technology, has created a tool to assist people in understanding how computers can interpret language.
In his article, ‘Machine learning is changing our culture. Try this text-altering tool to see how’, published by The Conversation, Kelly explains how his interactive tool called Everything You Ever Said (EYES) works and shares his concerns about the technology.
For editors and wordsmiths, it is increasingly important to become aware of how machine learning can influence our work and our society.
