I spoke with Gender in Tech expert Dr. Anna Szlávi about the surprising minority and minoritized dialect situation in Norway, bridging linguistics and computer science and empowering others to do so, Europe’s EUGAIN and STEM-UP projects, gendered pronouns and politics in Hungary, and how artificial intelligence and natural language processing engineers should approach gender in Slavic languages like Lemko Rusyn and Ukrainian.
