Whisper and the ethics of listening at scale

Fast transcription isn’t just a technical achievement — it’s a cognitive and ethical act. When models like Whisper process speech with high speed and fidelity, they also raise questions about what it means to listen.
Listening at scale involves more than decoding audio. It touches on intent, context, and the asymmetry between speaker and system. What gets preserved? What gets flattened?
As transcription becomes infrastructure, we may need to rethink listening not just as input, but as interpretation — with all the responsibility that entails.
