How AI Models Affect Low-Resource Language Communities
本站:原文:
hěnduōrén gōng zhì néng人工智能chǎn pǐn产品shuōtā men它们néngbāng zhù帮助rén men人们xué xí学习gōng zuò工作shēng huó生活

Many AI products say they can help people learn, work, and live.

dàn shì但是duìhěnduōcháng yòng常用yǔ yán语言deshǐ yòng zhě使用者láishuōqíng kuàng情况bìngbú shì不是zhè yàng这样

But for speakers of many less commonly used languages, that is not the case.

xiàn zài现在hěn duō很多dà xíng大型yǔ yán语言mó xíng模型gènghuìchǔ lǐ处理yīng yǔ英语duìqí tā其他yǔ yán语言cháng cháng常常zuòbù hǎo不好

Right now, many large language models handle English much better and often do poorly with other languages.

bǐ rú比如yǒu rén有人xiǎngyòngtài mǐ ěr yǔ泰米尔语xiěyóu jiàn邮件jié guǒ结果xì tǒng系统kě néng可能xiěchūyī duàn一段cuò wù错误hěnduōyì si意思qīngdeyīng wén英文

For example, if someone wants to write an email in Tamil, the system may produce a paragraph of badly written, unclear English instead.

zhè yàng yī lái这样一来yòng hù用户huìjué de觉得zhè xiē这些gōng jù工具kě kào可靠bù xiǎng不想zàiyòng

As a result, users may feel that these tools are unreliable and stop using them.

zhè ge这个wèn tí问题zhǐyǐng xiǎng影响gōng zuò工作zhuàn qián赚钱yǐng xiǎng影响wén huà文化

This problem affects not only work and earning money, but also culture.

The ideas and values inside many AI tools often feel closer to those of English-speaking countries and do not represent the lives and views of other places very well.

Some people try to help low-resource languages by creating more online content, but some of that content is itself machine-translated and full of errors; later, AI learns from it, which makes the problem even worse.

To change this situation, big companies should work together with these language communities and carefully check content and answers, so that AI can truly help more people instead of serving only a small number of them.
