Artificial intelligence has long become a part of our everyday lives. Due to the progress of mainstream applications such as automatic speech recognition in recent years, the use of AI in professional research and practice contexts is increasingly conceivable. The transdisciplinary team of the TALC project (Tools for Analyzing Language and Communication) explores potential applications of machine learning in linguistic, speech therapy, and educational settings. TALC aims to bring recognized research methods, such as spontaneous speech analysis (TALC-LSA subproject), into the 21st century. TALC aims to enhance the reach and practicality of diagnostic procedures, such as reading diagnostics (TALC-DIRA subproject), through AI-based automation.

At the same time, ethical and legal frameworks for the application of artificial intelligence are to be designed to ensure the potential of this technology for all users. That is our transdisciplinary vision.
