An international organization under the UN has campaigned for linguistic diversity in AI, challenging the dominance of English. At the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit, Sundar Pichai announced the addition of over 110 new languages to Google Translate, marking a significant step towards inclusivity. This development is seen as a victory for advocates who have worked tirelessly to ensure that tech companies recognize the importance of linguistic representation.
The article highlights the ongoing challenges faced by non-English speakers when using AI tools, particularly generative AI like ChatGPT. Despite improvements, responses in languages other than English often lack depth and accuracy, leading to a phenomenon known as 'hallucination' in AI outputs. The push for linguistic diversity is further supported by the UN's Global Digital Compact, which aims to integrate cultural and linguistic diversity into AI policymaking.
