THe challenge
In a future where artificial intelligence (AI) will play a fundamental role in societies around the world, the ability of models to understand and operate efficiently in languages other than English will be essential to ensure an equitable distribution of technology’s benefits. Even though English is dominant in the development and implementation of AI technologies, it is important to focus on diversifying languages and adapting models to specific cultural contexts.
If the future is one in which the most powerful models are trained mainly for English, societies that are not native English speakers—along with their economies—will be at a disadvantage. Limited access to AI technologies in other languages could create a technological gap between native English-speaking countries and others, potentially exacerbating global economic and social inequalities.
Education systems cannot transform entire generations into native English speakers in a short time, which highlights the importance of research and innovation in AI for languages other than English. A multilingual and multicultural approach to AI development will not only facilitate access to these technologies worldwide but will also enrich the knowledge and experiences underlying AI models, leading to more effective and inclusive solutions.
By investing in research and development of AI models for various languages and cultures, we can ensure better integration of AI technologies in non-native English-speaking societies and help bridge the technological gap. This will also allow AI technologies to be adapted to local needs and specificities, while improving the quality and efficiency of these systems for users worldwide.
In conclusion, to prepare for a future where artificial intelligence will have a major impact on global societies, it is imperative to focus on research and innovation in AI for a wide range of languages and cultures. This approach will ensure a more equitable, inclusive, and prosperous future for all communities, regardless of language spoken or cultural context.
MISSION, OBJECTIVES, PROJECTS
KlusAI’s mission is to contribute to the development of a more equitable and inclusive society by developing and implementing artificial intelligence (AI) solutions and models based on the Romanian language. Our team of researchers, engineers, and AI experts works together to create innovative technologies tailored to the specific needs of Romanian speakers and society as a whole.
KlusAI’s objectives include:
- Promoting research and innovation in AI for the Romanian language, ensuring that Romanian speakers benefit from the same technological opportunities as native English speakers.
- Developing AI solutions and models tailored to the Romanian cultural and linguistic context, to ensure effective and inclusive integration of technologies into Romanian society.
- Establishing strategic partnerships with educational institutions, research organizations, and companies to stimulate AI development in Romanian and facilitate the transfer of knowledge and technologies between different sectors.
- Creating an AI innovation ecosystem for the Romanian language, supporting the development of new AI-based products, services, and solutions adapted to the local market and needs.
Concrete projects KlusAI aims to undertake to address this challenge include:
- Developing a platform of linguistic and technological resources for the Romanian language to facilitate research and development of AI models adapted to the needs of Romanian speakers.
- Creating a training and skills development program in AI for the Romanian language, aimed at specialists, educators, and students, to promote the responsible understanding and use of AI technologies in various fields.
- Initiating collaborative projects with public and private institutions to implement AI solutions in fields such as education, healthcare, public administration, and business, tailored to the Romanian context.
- Organizing events and conferences dedicated to promoting research and innovation in AI for the Romanian language, to strengthen the community of specialists and stimulate the development of new ideas and projects in the field.
Through these objectives and projects, KlusAI aims to actively contribute to building a future in which Romanian-based AI technologies are accessible, effective, and can be used responsibly to improve quality of life and create opportunities for Romanian speakers. This endeavor will support the development of a technological and innovative ecosystem in Romania and the region, promoting collaboration between different sectors and stimulating economic and social growth.
Additionally, KlusAI aims to help reduce the technological gap between Romanian-speaking countries and native English-speaking ones by developing and promoting AI models adapted to the specific needs of the Romanian language. This commitment will ensure a more equitable distribution of the benefits of AI technology and support the creation of a more inclusive and diverse global society.
In this regard, KlusAI will also encourage international collaboration with other organizations and institutions facing similar challenges in developing AI for other languages, to learn from each other and share best practices. In this way, we will help build a global network of experts and organizations working together to ensure a future where AI technologies are accessible and beneficial to all, regardless of language spoken or cultural context.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the mission, objectives, and concrete projects of KlusAI reflect our commitment to addressing the challenges described above and contributing to a future where artificial intelligence is a tool for progress and well-being for Romanian speakers and society as a whole. Through innovation, collaboration, and the promotion of linguistic and cultural diversity, KlusAI will play an essential role in shaping a more equitable and inclusive future in the era of artificial intelligence.
