SLPs Talk Tech

Welcome to SLPs Talk Tech, where we explore innovations in AI and communication sciences and disorders (CSD). On this podcast, we talk with researchers, clinicians, innovators, and allied professionals who are shaping the future of clinical practice, education, and technology in the field.This podcast is hosted by a human, based on conversations with humans. We tried AI voices for a bit, but I couldn’t capture these conversations the way I intended. Rather than ditch the project entirely, I decided to revisit a history I had almost forgotten - twenty years ago, when I worked at my college radio station. Before I became a speech-language pathologist, I thought I was going to work in media education. While pursuing my B.A. in Communications, I practically lived at my college radio station, WMUA 91.1 FM (UMass, Amherst). I hosted a live radio show, created syndicated content, and briefly served as Program Director. Trying to put together an AI-voiced podcast quickly b

    Mai Ling Chan on AI, Collaboration, and Community

    Most speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and our allied colleagues are unprepared for the AI tools sweeping through healthcare and education. In this episode, early adopter Mai Ling Chan exposes the hidden ethical pitfalls, the danger of AI hallucinations, and the isolation emerging tech can create in clinical practice. Discover how the same AI tools that promise efficiency may silently erode collaboration, credibility, and trust if we don't approach them with care. Mai Ling bridges her network of like minded disability advocates and thought leaders, advocating for ethical AI for clinicians and those we serve, and making sure we are inviting everyone to the table so that SLPs can feel informed and empowered in an AI-enabled world.Main Topics Covered:Ethical considerations and the importance of a guided framework for AI useThe impact of AI on collaboration and professional credibilityAddressing hallucinations and errors in AI outputs.
