Event description:

The United Nations International Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022-2032) is dedicated to drawing attention to the critical state of Indigenous languages worldwide, the promotion of Indigenous language rights, as well as the considerable efforts made to revitalize, maintain, preserve, and sustain Indigenous languages. As AI becomes more pervasive in today’s world, careful considerations are required in terms of the potential role AI might have in the process of language revitalization. This session will explore some of the current dialogue on how AI can support Indigenous languages, the unique concerns of safeguarding the integrity and inherent knowledges contained within Indigenous languages, as well as the vital role of community involvement in AI development and management.
