ChatGPT AI Revolution sparks concern as non-English languages are being left out

As AI chatbots continue to dominate the global commerce and innovation sector, concerns over linguistic biases are being raised as they struggle to communicate in languages other than English. Research has identified that AI systems like ChatGPT can translate languages into English with ease, but struggle with other-way translations, which threatens to amplify bias and reduce diversity in innovation. With the pressure to learn English increasing for workers in business, academia and innovation, scientists are advocating for AI to address this issue, not reinforce English language dominance. Researchers are currently testing the language skills of ChatGPT and other rival chatbots, with findings indicating that they are less capable of performing in languages other than English. As these chatbots continue to be widely used, researchers are also creating new data sets of non-English text to accelerate the development of truly multilingual models.
