Google Docs will now make more “inclusive” suggestions and edits in its predictive text algorithm. The technology will now correct gendered words such as “mailman” to “mail carrier,” or “chairman” to “chairperson.”
On May 18, Google held its virtual I/O developer conference. the Daily Mail reported that the new update to Google Doc will suggest ways to avoid “offensive language” and gendered language.
Google has made similar changes in 2018 after the company fell under fire for its predictive gendered pronoun language. The company opted to remove gender pronouns from the predictive text feature altogether.
Product leaders told Reuters that the technology had to be changed to avoid offending users.
