106 - Ethical Considerations In NLP Research, with Emily Bender

In this episode, we talked to Emily Bender about the ethical
considerations in developing NLP models and putting them in
production. Emily cited specific examples of ethical issues, and
talked about the kinds of potential concerns to keep in mind, both
when releasing NLP models that will be used by real people, and
also while conducting NLP research. We concluded by discussing a
set of open-ended questions about designing tasks, collecting data,
and publishing results, that Emily has put together towards
addressing these concerns. Emily M. Bender is a Professor in the
Department of Linguistics and an Adjunct Professor in the
Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of
Washington. She’s active on Twitter at @emilymbender.
