Culturally aware AI will reshape global tech landscapes according to Dr. Werner Vogels.
LLMs will spread to ever more languages and applications.
AI will no longer be Western-centric.
Buckle up, tech aficionados! Dr. Werner Vogels, Amazon’s Chief
Technology Officer, has unveiled a tantalizing glimpse into the future of
technology, where Generative AI takes center stage and cultural fluency becomes
the secret sauce.
OK, firstly, let’s breathe a collective sigh, according to Vogels, Artificial
Intelligence (AI) isn’t coming for the nuclear weapons … yet. In 2024, Vogels
believes, it’ll all be about cultural awareness and more, as laid out here.
Let’s unpack what culturally aware AI means.
AI’s Evolution
Cloud tech, machine learning, and the enchanting allure of Generative
AI have infiltrated every nook of our existence, from penning emails to
battling the elusive specter of cancer, it’s everywhere and it seems to be
doing everything.
Cultural Fluency
Picture this: Large Language Models (LLMs) dancing through corridors of
culturally diverse data, gaining a profound understanding of the human
experience. It's not just about generating lines of code anymore; it's about
embracing the nuances of our collective existence. Dr. Vogels predicts that the
future of AI lies in cultural fluency—a superpower that will make generative AI
as common as your morning coffee.
Culture, that intangible influence that informs our actions and
beliefs, will step into the AI limelight. As tech evolves, culture will be the
silent director, shaping how technologies are born, unleashed, and devoured by
the masses, according to Vogels. But, while culture adds spice, it can also
throw a curveball of confusion. This is where generative AI comes in as it strives
to speak the language of every culture in the world.
East Meets West: Non-Western LLMs Take the Stage
According to the good doctor, non-Western LLMs will enter the AI arena
from next year onwards. Meet Jais, the linguist fluent in Arabic and English,
Yi-34B, the bilingual maestro of Chinese and English, and Japanese-large-lm, a
sensei trained on the intricacies of the Japanese web. These linguistic
juggernauts will be breaking down barriers, paving the way for culturally
accurate AI that transcends borders. From classrooms to clinics, the ripple
effects will be seismic.
But, lest we forget, language and culture are not entirely interchangeable.
Mere translation doesn't sprinkle the magic dust of cultural awareness. As
these language models soak up a kaleidoscope of histories and tales, they're
poised to offer a global perspective that might just redefine our digital
odyssey. The future is tech-cultured, and it's about to speak your language.
The Future of AI
All this is very interesting and, in his e–book, Vogels lays out other
trends such as the rise of femtech, the use of AI for productivity and the
evolution of education in the face of technology. However, given
the battle for the future of OpenAI, and the rise of other, localized AIs,
the technology is entering a period in which it will change massively.
Fearmongering aside, this fascinating, powerful tech is set to explore
in terms of usage, influence and reach in the coming years, perhaps as Dr.
Vogels would have us believe, as early as next year. The potential is seemingly
limitless, and the future of many businesses will hinge on how they can
leverage AI, be it through cost savings, creating code or reaching out to customers.
