Abstract

Artificial intelligence interpreting systems have gained significance because they remove language barriers by providing instant translation services, virtual help, and global communication channels. These systems experience difficulties detecting and providing a fair interpretation of various voice patterns and localized accents, contributing to automated system discrimination. This research evaluates the complex relationships between voices, accents, and identity schemes found in AI language models and the cultural and ethical risks of data training deficits. The research document stresses the necessity of inclusive voice-based AI systems because such measures protect against maintaining unfair stereotypes while fighting digital inequality. This research uses multiple social science approaches from computational linguistics with sociolinguistics and human-centered AI design to investigate current AI model interpretations of accents, the misrepresentation of identity, and its effects on speakers with non-standard dialects and minority languages. Current AI systems are analyzed using benchmarks, accent bias audit reports, and real-world interactions between AI models and humans. AI models demonstrate enduring precision differences based on accent variations, affecting exposure to AI tools and their reliability and equitable treatment in AI systems. Summary strategies appear to help develop AI interpreting systems that demonstrate cultural responsiveness and greater equity in their operation. AI system performance improvement requires three main actions: training dataset expansion, proper voice sampling standards, and team collaboration between technological developers and community representatives. A future language technology emerges through designing AI with voice and identity at its center, so it will respect all forms of language instead of eliminating them.
