AI and Multilingualism Q2: Forced Migration and the Survival of Languages

https://medium.com/p/18a617b38d14?postPublishedType=initial

The debate on Artificial Intelligence is deepening and becoming global. Can the whole of humanity, every single nation, every single culture, every single language benefit from AI? The answer is somewhere in the confrontation of three zones. The USA and its Silicon Valley corporations have invested and built a full infrastructure for it. They are ready to colonize the world with their English LLM.

China has made AI compulsory in the school system starting at six. They invest a lot in the implementation of their AI, digitally simpler, cheaper in energy consumption, and just as efficient. Yet we do not know how it really works, and how they cope with the multidialectal Chinese, and the multilingual China with Chinese (simplified or traditional), Tibetan, Uyghur and Mongolian, plus smaller isolated languages. The Chinese policy in the field is to encourage the revival of all local, isolated and autonomous cultures and languages. So, how do they do it?

Europe wants to assert itself, but they do not have an alternative. The only possible way to dig some trenches in the US-dominating stance seems to be Advanced Problematization suggested by Edmond Gerard Anna: working on the prompt and elaborating this prompt with primary research before writing it, so that instead of one sentence, you could submit one page’ with contradictory elements and the request to elaborate on differences, and why not choose one or two languages, besides or instead of English.

It is essential to avoid the US colonial approach of AI already implemented and spreading in the world. I can already hear the chant rising from the Global South: Viva La Butlerian Jihad!
