I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki, and I study what constitutes good speech synthesis in the broad sense of the term: how should the quality of synthesis be evaluated, and should it sound human? Does it reinforce or reduce discrimination? In the AIdemoc project, I study how speech synthesis can be made to sound artificial so that communication between AI and humans remains trustworthy without losing its efficiency.
