Gates Foundation 5 Year Goal: Help 3B People to Use AI in Their Language
A group of 60 signatories are uniting behind a shared five-year goal: for an estimated 3.4 billion people who speak languages currently underrepresented in today’s AI models to be able to use AI tools in their own language and voice. Initial signatories reflect the range of expertise needed to make progress, from locally led research and implementation to AI model development, funding, and public policy. They include: frontier AI labs, government ministries and departments, philanthropies, developers, and implementing organizations from across the globe.
