You might be using AI more than you think and adjusting how you communicate because of it.
Many people say they don’t use AI, but when asked, they realize they’ve used Google Maps, Google Translate, transit apps, camera filters, or voice assistants. These everyday tools are AI-powered.
Sometimes, people change how they speak, type, or write, simplifying words, avoiding slang, typing instead of speaking, or adjusting their tone, just so the system “understands” them. These adjustments aren’t about your ability; they reflect how AI systems are designed and whose voices they recognize.
I’m researching these everyday experiences among immigrants in Toronto (citizens, permanent residents, and temporary residents). Your real experiences, big or small, smooth or frustrating, matter.

Beyond our consulting services, we believe in supporting research that benefits immigrants. We are sharing an opportunity to contribute to a study on how immigrants in Toronto interact with everyday AI tools like voice assistants and chatbots.
This research is conducted independently through Toronto Centre of Learning and Development and is entirely separate from our immigration services. Your participation is voluntary and anonymous.
