About this episode

In this episode, you’ll learn about language learning from AI (Artificial Intelligence) linguist and English teacher, Yazzy Ares.

In this podcast we’ll talk about the field of NLP (Natural Language Processing) and AI, and the difference between humans and computers when it comes to language processing and language acquisition. We also talked about biases and discrimination when it comes to language learning and what we can learn about it from computers.
