The Future of Accent in an AI World
What happens when AI starts deciding what “normal” English sounds like? In this episode of AI Experience, Julien Redelsperger welcomes Bonnie Sherriff, educator, linguist, and linguistic accent advisor specializing in accent reduction and dialect change. You will discover how AI is reshaping the way people speak, learn languages, and hear voices online. Bonnie explains why accent is deeply tied to identity, why today’s AI tools still struggle with nuance, and why human coaching remains difficult to replace. You will also learn how text-to-speech systems tend to favor broad, standardized accents, what this could mean for regional dialects, and whether AI is simply accelerating the natural evolution of language.
Bonnie is an educator and linguist with a background in human development and educational psychology. Professionally, she works internationally as a linguistic accent advisor, specializing in accent reduction and dialect change.
