Hear Q, The World’s First Genderless Voice For AI Systems

If you use an AI-enabled voice assistant, chances are it is in a female voice. Though re is always a way to change it to a male voice, core techlogy has been designed in such a way that it is eir of two ‘socially accepted’ s.

In a bid to do away with rms, a project by creative studio Virtue rdic and human rights festival Copenhn Pride, in conjunction with social scientist Julie Carpenter, has given birth to what is called as world’s first less AI voice, called Q.

Unlike existing Siri, Cortana, Alexa, and Google, all of which have default female voice giving directions, indexing reminders, switching off your lights, playing music, and so on, Q is trying to fix set definitions when it comes to tasks carried out by digital assistants.

As Fast Company reports, Q solves a real problem that happens when techlogy fails to represent everyone. For instance, Siri, which has been a female voice for s cant be neutral.

For developing Q, researchers sampled several real voices from n-binary people, combined m digitally, and created one master voice that cruises between 145 Hz and 175 Hz, right in between male- and female-rmative vocal ranges.

developers used real-human feedback to tune voice at -neutral point. developers are w inviting tech firms to collaborate and offer Q as a third option for Siri and Alexa.
