Artificial intelligence helping prevent bad word choices in the workplace – KGO-TV

The Oakland Unified School District this week issued an apology for sending out a survey that included a historically racist term for people of Asian descent. However, a movement is underway to prevent bad word choices. "I think that words do matter, so I think that you do have to be very mindful of the words that you use," says Jaye Bailey, Valley Transportation Authority's head of civil rights and employee relations. Whether it's a transit agency like VTA or a private company, attention to messaging has never been greater as a result of the social justice movement.
