to voice assistants. However, as these technologies advance, we must ensure they align with ethical and inclusive principles. The TEICAI Workshop at EACL 2024 invites technologists, linguists, policymakers, and communities to discuss the impact of conversational
AI on language attitudes, linguistic diversity, and language rights.</span></div>
