#PrivacyCon24 AI & Machine Learning panel was a little spicy...

Batul Yawer of ASU's work really stands out with research on the validity of a widely available #AI tool claiming "clinical grade performance" for stress and anxiety management.

Important questions as to deceptive marketing, health tool effectiveness, and potential harms as people rely on these tools to make health decisions.

A slide is showing against an FTC backdrop with flags from the US and the Federal Trade Commission. Slide shows a Venn diagram and the following points regarding Speech under Stress:
Question - Is it possible to detect psychological stress from speech?

Speech changes in the context of psychological stress are complex and variable
• Limited findings in literature for classifying psychological stress from speech
•There are numerous ways of defining stress (i.e., is the psychological stress acute, environmental, chronic, etc.), this ambiguity causes issues in pinpointing specific speech-based markers for psychological stress
• Speech is variable: speech that may sound
"stressed" for one person, may be relaxed for another. No universal speech signature for psychological stress
