If you have a question about this talk, please contact Janet Gibson.

Artificial intelligence (AI) could transform healthcare, education, governance, and equity, but its benefits remain concentrated in a few languages. Language AI — the technology behind systems like ChatGPT — could empower people in their native languages, yet most of the world’s 7,000+ languages remain digitally marginalized. We present a global longitudinal analysis of social, economic, and infrastructural conditions across 6,003 languages, revealing widening disparities and a hype-driven diffusion of AI. To address this, we introduce the Language AI Readiness Index (EQUATE), which maps where capacity exists but remains underused, providing a framework for more equitable AI diffusion.
