According to Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, his company places great importance on language and cultural inclusivity as they develop and educate advanced artificial intelligence systems.
Altman informed the Democratic Senator from California that they consider this matter to be highly significant.
Altman mentioned that Alex Padilla is advocating for the incorporation of language inclusivity in AI. As an illustration, they collaborated with the Icelandic government, whose language has fewer speakers compared to other languages present on the internet, to guarantee its inclusion in their model.
During a hearing held by the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology and the Law, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, IBM Chief Privacy & Trust Officer Christina Montgomery, and New York University professor emeritus Gary Marcus testified on the best ways to regulate powerful artificial intelligence systems. Altman and Montgomery were asked about ensuring language and cultural inclusivity in their technologies, as social media companies have not adequately invested in content moderation for non-English users. Altman argued that OpenAI's technology will have a positive impact on underrepresented people who have not had as much access to technology around the world. OpenAI's ChatGPT, which was released last year, is trained on large amounts of text and can answer prompts from humans.
According to Sam Altman, the leader of OpenAI, their most advanced system, GPT-4, is proficient in many languages, unlike their previous systems. Altman also emphasized the importance of cultural inclusivity in their platform and expressed excitement in collaborating with individuals who possess specific datasets to collect a diverse range of values from around the world.
