Title Diversity is a Given: Inclusion should also be! Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet Inside Signal Processing Newsletter Media type Web Duration/Length/Size 1 pag. Country/Territory Netherlands Date 13/09/23 Description Everyone is different. But some differences are accepted and fall within the “norm” while other types of “different” result in the person having less access to resources, education, even happiness, or end up with them being bullied or worse. Acceptance of diversity is not only important from an individual perspective, it is also crucial to advance science and technology. Diversity in background, personality, and disciplinary training complement one another and foster larger scientific advancements. It can also help with other issues, preventing, for instance, applications or technology that will inadvertently exclude certain groups in our society, e.g., current state-of-the-art speech recognition systems have trouble recognising speech from children or speakers with (strong) accents, and some AI tools have trouble identifying people from some ethnicities.
