Malihe Alikhani

In an era of increasingly present AI, Alikhani is both enthused and wary of its transformative power. She believes in the ability of language technologies and AI to bolster critical education, health, and social justice efforts, but she also studies the ways in which they become biased. Her vision is to design inclusive and equitable language technologies that communicate effectively with diverse populations. By integrating insights from cognitive science, social sciences, and machine learning, these models can capture diversity of interpretation and benefit underserved communities.
