Why modern speech technology leaves millions of speakers behind
In short: While thousands of languages thrive globally, digital speech technology supports just over a hundred. This video explores how computational linguist Kalika Bali works to prevent technology from becoming a barrier for low-resource language communities.
Computational linguist Kalika Bali examines the digital divide created when languages are omitted from the modern technological landscape. She explores the consequences of this exclusion and the potential benefits when inclusive systems are built for the millions who speak low-resource languages.
The goal is to transform technology into a bridge that helps communities keep pace with the future, ensuring digital progress does not leave entire linguistic groups behind.
