Linguistic Legends: Myths, Gender, and the Rise of AI with Dr. Jila Ghomeshi & Dr. Ivona Kucerova

In this very special episode, we have a double feature - that means not one but TWO interviews with well-known linguists here in Canada.

Our first guest is Dr. Jila Ghomeshi - a professor of linguistics at the University of Manitoba. She sits down with Brooklyn to talk about her career journey, her research, and to debunk her favourite myths about linguistics.

Our second guest is Dr. Ivona Kucerova from McMaster University. Dr. Kucerova sits down with a guest host, Francisco Ongay, to discuss her research on how gender is represented in language and her applied work on language revitalization.

Interestingly, both our guests today had something to say about ChatGPT and why these new large language models are so intriguing!
