Gates Foundation Launches Coalition to Build More Representative Language Data Sets for AI
The coalition includes 60 partners and aims to reach more than 3 billion people over five years, officials said.
- On Monday, the Gates Foundation convened a 60-partner coalition including Anthropic, Google and OpenAI Foundation to expand artificial intelligence in underrepresented languages, targeting more than 3 billion people over five years.
- Mozilla Data Collective CEO E.M. Lewis-Jong called training AI on internet-scraped data an "original sin," noting systems built predominantly on Reddit fail to produce culturally diverse results.
- Google's Project Vaani collects more than 150,000 hours of audio across every district in India to gather dialect data, while Anthropic's Elizabeth Kelly acknowledged the company's products "lag in many African languages in particular."
- Gates Foundation CEO Mark Suzman said work must continue "full speed ahead" despite some AI companies urging industry slowdown, while governments must regulate impacts and extend humanitarian applications to communities currently "shut out" from technology.
- The foundation committed $1 billion toward AI-focused efforts to improve health outcomes and educational tools for small farmers globally, with a secretariat tracking each partner's commitments as governance details are finalized.
