Telus Uses AI to Alter Call-Agent Accents

According to reporting by iPhone in Canada and The Globe and Mail, **Telus** is using AI through its **Telus Digital** unit to modify call-centre agents' accents in real time. iPhone in Canada reports the speech-to-speech tool is built by a company called **Tomato.ai** and is applied to offshore agents' voices to reduce what Telus reportedly calls "accent-related friction." Labour groups have criticised the practice as deceptive and have urged mandatory disclosure, The Globe and Mail reports. According to The Globe and Mail, **Rogers** and **Bell** told the paper they have no plans to adopt similar voice-altering technology. The coverage says the rollout has provoked swift public backlash in Canada.

Working with an #acting #coaching client on an accent with material that lands so differently when more vowel substitutions are included. The entire feel of who their character is shifted. So cool to hear and see them explore those options.
