Talk, Saint Louis Generative AI Lab, University City, Missouri
Abstract: We all recognize the amazing success of language models in developing advanced AI/NLP technologies like ChatGPT for English. But very few other languages have access to the billions of words of text needed to train high-quality LLMs; this is what I call “the new digital divide”. I’d like to talk in broad terms about the prospects in terms of AI and NLP for the other 7000 or so languages spoken in the world today.
