<translate> Walakini, jamii ya karibu ya Kitambulisho cha Sauti - gumzo za utambuzi wa usemi kama vile Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant - zinakabiliwa na upendeleo mkubwa wa kabila, haswa katika kugundua lafudhi na matamshi ya watu wasiozungumza Kiingereza. Je, upendeleo huu pia unaweza kupata njia yake katika huduma za kibayometriki za sauti? Wiebke Toussaint Hutiri, kiongozi wa mradi katika Fair EVA anatabiri mwelekeo wa kutia wasiwasi, ambao unaweza kuwatenga zaidi watumiaji waliotengwa katika utumiaji wa huduma zinazolindwa na bayometriki za sauti, kuongeza uwezekano wa kuingiliwa, au kuongeza udakuzi na aina nyingine ya ubaguzi. <eng>
However, Voice IDs close relatives - speech recognition chatbots such as Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant - are plagued with tremendous racial bias, particularly in detecting accents and speech of non-English speakers. Could this bias also find its way into voice biometric services? Wiebke Toussaint Hutiri, project lead at Fair EVA predicts a worrying trend, that could further exclude marginalized users from using services secured with voice biometrics, increase the likelihood of intrusion, or deepen surveillance and other discriminatory profiling.
