Queering Voice AI: Trans Centred Design
Delivered by Andrew Mallinson (Feminist Internet) and Cami Rincón
This intensive online course was offered as part of Trans Awareness Week at Arts Students' Union and UAL. The outcome was ‘Syb’ - is a voice interface connecting trans and non-binary users to media created by their community. Syb was developed through a participatory design process with a team of trans and non-binary people formed through an open call.
