The AI Revolution Is Crushing Thousands of Languages

The AI Revolution Is Crushing Thousands of Languages

Recently, Bonaventure Dossou learned of an alarming tendency in a popular AI model. The program described Fon—a language spoken by Dossou’s mother and millions of others in Benin and neighboring countries—as “a fictional language.”

This result, which I replicated, is not unusual. Dossou is accustomed to the feeling that his culture is unseen by technology that so easily serves other people. He grew up with no Wikipedia pages in Fon, and no translation programs to help him communicate with his mother in French, in which he is more fluent. “When we have a technology that treats something as simple and fundamental as our name as an error, it robs us of our personhood,” Dossou told me.

The rise of the internet, alongside decades of American hegemony, made English into a common tongue for business, politics, science, and entertainment. More than half of all websites are in English, yet more than

Mobile Technology

Yet, this redefined paradigm introduces a tangible disconnect, highlighting the delicate balance between convenience and detachment as individuals navigate between the tangible and the virtual realms. Location-based marketing lets businesses send notifications to people nearby, informing them about products and special offers. Additionally, users can explore nearby options by turning on GPS on their devices, linking them to goods and services close by. Fortunately, the continual shift towards embracing mobile learning as a supplement – or an alternative – to conventional brick-and-mortar learning is in full effect.

  • There are also those who watch religious lectures that have been prerecorded on certain channels, such as YouTube or podcasts.
  • Researchers and industry experts are already envisioning advancements beyond 5G, such as terahertz communication, quantum computing, and even wireless neural interfaces.

The hybrid deep learning approach makes use of support vector machines and long short-term memories . New services with entirely different requirements and features are developing with the expansion of the Internet of Things , which the current fifth generation of mobile cellular networks cannot support. 6G networks are designed to be capable of enabling novel services with ever-evolving technical specifications. Based on a review of the new 6G service standards, this includes advanced methods for a smart 6G network.

  • On the other hand, what current fifth-generation networks can do is not nearly enough to support new vertical applications.
  • Given the unique usability needs of older adults, future research should continue to perform usability testing and conduct multiple iterations to ensure usability and acceptability in diverse populations.
  • Theory-based interventions are driven by a specific theory or set of theories that specify presumed mediators and mechanisms for the outcome or behavior
