As synthetic voices become indistinguishable from real ones, DIGIT spoke with psychologist Dr Neil Kirk about how our instinct to trust our own accents could make way for deepfakes targeting not just individuals, but entire regions.

An excellent start to #ICL2024 Francis Ameka in the first plenary flags a Western theoretical bias in linguistics and a crucial shift from Western standard languages to minority non-standardised languages. @DrNeilKirk you got a shoutout!

ICYMI - our paper with Orcadian speakers:
#SummaryLimerick
"There once were some speakers from Kirkwall,
who some might call 'monolingual',
But when their chantin's exhibited,
their Orcadian's inhibited.
Cognitively, it's like being a bilingual!"

Had a great time at @VUBrussel presenting a seminar on the work we’ve been doing at @AbertayPsych @AbertayUni with Scots speakers.
Great audience, and great questions and conversation afterwards. A wee career highlight! 🧠🗣 @MINDLanguages
