Gates Foundation launches coalition to build more representative language data sets for AI
The Gates Foundation is convening Anthropic, Google, OpenAI Foundation and dozens of other organisations to help make artificial intelligence more accessible in underrepresented languages.
The partners – 60 in total, according to Monday’s announcement – include frontier AI labs, corporations, philanthropies and others already working to expand the number of languages available in AI tools that the Gates Foundation believes could combat global inequality. The coalition aims to reach more than 3 billion people over five years by better coordinating existing efforts.
