Ungless<\/a>&nbsp;(he\/him, they\/them) recently completed their PhD at the <a href=\"https:\/\/informatics.ed.ac.uk\/ukri-cdt-in-natural-language-processing\">Centre for Doctoral Training in Natural Language Processing (NLP)<\/a> at the University of Edinburgh, supervised by Bj\u00f6rn Ross, Vaishak Belle and Zachary Horne. His work addresses the felt harms of NLP technologies, motivated by a desire to effectively mitigate harm by more deeply understanding the experiences of those impacted by these technologies. He has contributed to the study of queerphobia in NLP, for example with papers addressing the potential harms of image- and text-generation models to the trans and nonbinary community. They have previously spoken on AI and gender at the Scottish AI Summit, and with journalists from Nature and TransLash.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Eddie L.
