Abstract

Speech and language difficulties present significant challenges to effective communication, impacting individuals' ability to express themselves and engage in meaningful interactions. Recent advances in AI technologies, particularly in natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning, have the potential to assist individuals with speech and language difficulties in improving their communication outcomes. However, given the probabilistic nature of AI models, there is a need to adopt and advance human-centered AI design methodologies to support the prototyping of AI user experiences. This Special Interest Group (SIG) aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and designers from the fields of AI, accessibility, speech pathology, AI ethics, and HCI to facilitate high-level discussions around designing and evaluating reliable, safe, and human-centered AI-driven support and interventions for supporting individuals with speech and language difficulties.
