Sure, that was not one of the option, but yes you can communicate with AI in so many languages and as we are seeing the artificial intelligence growth like wildfire. More than 25 languages are supported by AI models like GPT-4, including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese and many more. This growth in AI’s language abilities is made possible by advances in machine learning and natural language processing (NLP). For instance OpenAI released GPT-3 in 2020 and the available language support was minimal but they launched GPT-4 with better than 90% accuracy on the most commonly used languages only a short time later (113).
This multilingual functionality enables users to communicate in a language of their choosing when interacting with AI: making it accessible to an even wider audience. Out of 500 global users surveyed, over 6 in 10 (60%) said they preferred using AI in their language, and nearly half (45%) claimed that the multilingual skillset of AI made them feel more comfortable operating AI for tasks ranging from customer support to learning new concepts.
Moreover, AI systems can perform even more complex tasks such as translation, sentiment analysis or content generation in various languages. Take the AI-powered Translate service by Google which provides assistance in translating over a 100 languages, translates billions of words daily, is capable of doing translations with an accuracy of up to 85% for most widely spoken languages. AI also comprehend the regional dialects and slang, making its communication better. According to a EU report from 2022, businesses using AI translation tools usually saved up to 40% in operational costs since it streamlined the process and decreased reliance on human translators.
Nevertheless, and despite the fact that AI works quite well in many languages, there are challenges. AI translations are most often accurate for languages that have a lot of speakers or simple grammar rules, such as English, but tend to be less successful with languages like Icelandic or Basque which are less spoken globally or written using complex grammar. According to a study conducted in 2021, the accuracy rates for AI were reduced to merely 75% on rarer languages as opposed to approximately 95% on commonly spoken languages.
AI will be electricity, said Elon Musk – that’s how the term quote works. That statement represents the paradigm-shifting impact AI has outside of just use cases in talking to machines to convert English from one language into another for non-English speakers. AI is constantly evolving, and with that its ability to help us all break down language barriers. Multi-language conversation support has made it more convenient for users to talk to ai around the world via systems such as chatbots or virtual assistants which are vital in supporting multiple communities globally.
To summarize, being able to use multiple languages when interacting with AI is a boon. As AI language models continue to evolve, the precision and variety of languages will enhance even more, aiding in dissolving communication barriers across the world.
