Large language models are astonishingly good at understanding and producing language. But there’s an often overlooked bias toward languages that are already well-represented on the internet. That means some languages might lose out in AI’s big technical advances.

These approaches range from original dataset creation, to studying the outputs of large language models, to training open source alternatives.
