Self-supervised speech encoders show speaker-group bias from the first latent layers, with SID bias lowest where overall error is lowest while ASR bias is highest where overall error is lowest; the ASR pattern persists after fine-tuning.

Where Do Self-Supervised Speech Models Become Unfair?
Self-supervised speech encoders show speaker-group bias from the first latent layers, with SID bias lowest where overall error is lowest while ASR bias is highest where overall error is lowest; the ASR pattern persists after fine-tuning.
