Apple AI Tool transferred the word ‘racist’ as ‘Trump’

Apple says that after some social media users are found, it is working to fix its speech-to-text tool that when he spoke the word “racist” in his iPhones, it called it to “Trump” Type in form.

Tech veteran has suggested the issue that it has a problem due to this problem with its dictation service, with the difference between words with “R”.

“We know about an issue with the speech recognition model that is the power of dictatorship and we are fixing a one,” said an apple spokesman.

However, an expert in speech recognition told the BBC that this explanation was “not just admirable.”

Professor Peter Bell, Professor of Speech Technology at the University of Edinburgh said that it was more likely that someone had replaced the underlying software that was used.

Videos shared online Show the word “racist” while speaking in the dictation tool.

Sometimes it is sometimes transferred correctly – but on other occasions it is converted to “trump”, before they are quickly restored to the correct word.

The BBC is not able to repeat the mistake, suggesting that Apple’s fix is ​​already being effective.

Prof. Bell said the clarification of Apple’s phonetic overlap had no meaning because two words were not enough to confuse an artificial intelligence (AI) system.

The speech-to-text recognition model is trained by inputting the real people’s clips, which they say with an accurate transcript.

They are also taught to understand the words in the context – for example, they can separate the word “cup” from the “cut” if it was within the phrase “a cup of tea”.

Prof. Bell says that the situation with Apple is unlikely to be a real mistake with its data as its English language model will be trained on hundreds of thousands of hours of speech, which should give it high level of accuracy.

For “less well revived languages”, he said that it could be an AI training issue.

But he said in this case: “It probably indicates someone who has access to this process.”

A former Apple employee who worked on his AI assistant head Told New York Times: “It smells like a serious mischief.”

After complaints from BBC and other news organizations, Apple had to return to another AI-driven facility last month.

it Its AI summary suspended After the news headlines, it displays false information on stories – including where he said that tennis player Rafael Nadal said Came out as gay.

Company Announced yesterday This will invest $ 500BN (£ 395BN) in the US in the next four years, including a large data center in Texas to Power Apple Intelligence.

The company’s chief executive Tim Cook also said that he may have to do it Change its policies After President Donald Trump, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) have called for abolition of DEI programs.
