AI has made podcasting faster.
The tools that are supposed to help you might actually be working against you. From inaccurate transcripts to content suggestions that ignore your voice and overlook diverse perspectives, AI bias in podcasting is real and it’s quietly shaping what gets seen, shared, and heard.
From automatic transcriptions to instant editing, analytics, and content creation AI has made podcasting easier than ever. We even built Pllugg on top of AI to help podcasters like you move faster and stress less.
And if you’re a podcaster, especially one with a unique voice, accent, or fresh perspective, this bias could be just holding you back.
Understanding AI Bias in Podcasting
When does AI bias occur or what does it mean? This means when AI results are being partial and only favours a certain set of people. AI bias occurs in its results, and in podcasting, it occurs in several ways. Creators feel frustrated when AI gives them inaccurate transcriptions- it struggles to transcribe non-native speakers’ words in their dialects, accents, or even speech patterns.
AI biases tend to occur in their algorithms. Have you ever seen when you are doom scrolling on a podcast app and it brings certain podcast episodes? Yes, that’s because AI data is trained to be limited so it secludes lesser known podcasts and promotes the popular podcasts with their topics.
Also, many creators struggle finding content suggestions for their podcasts. Most times, AI gives you the topics you already know leaving out the hidden topics that can be talked about in diverse perspectives. It prevents creators from exploring scarce topics and even birthing fresh topics.

How Podcasters Can Overcome AI Bias
Everyone uses AI but some creators have mastered the act of generating different results but the question remains, how can podcasters ensure that AI reduces partiality and ensures fairness to creators? There is a reason why it is called artificial intelligence which means its responses are automated and it lacks human intervention. As a creator, you need to oversee your AI transcriptions manually to ensure accuracy.
As earlier stated, some people have mastered the acts of training their AI; this is customising it. Make sure to always give your AI different prompts to work–including different accents, speech patterns (especially for non-native speakers).
The number one rule of AI is never completely rely on AI. There are a lot of things AI can do but it shouldn’t affect your human creativity. It can do a lot of work but it should not do your expected work as a human. If you want AI to be less biassed, put less workload on it.
