To avoid the AI mis-gendering anyone, the best way to ensure that this does not occur is to ask participants to use their preferred pronouns in their screen names. For example, the screen name should be “Jane Doe (she)” or “Jane Doe (they)” if Jane Doe is being mis-gendered.

In Google Meet, this can be managed in each user’s Google account by going to https://myaccount.google.com/personal-info. Click on “Name and Pronunciation”. Click on the pencil icon to edit it, and save the preferred pronouns at the end of the last name. Please note that Google does not allow slashes in the name.

In Zoom, this can be managed in each user’s account by logging in at https://zoom.us. Click on “Profile” and then “edit”. Save the preferred pronouns at the end of the “Display Name” field.
