This lecture from the Santa Fe Institute explores the intersection of language, culture, and technology, presented by Monojit Choudhury from Mohammed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence in Abu Dhabi. Discover why AI systems processing or generating language require cultural awareness despite culture's elusive nature. Examine three key questions: the benefits of culturally aware AI systems, the complexities of modeling culture from psychological and anthropological perspectives, and how Large Language Models can be used to study and understand cultures. Learn about Project "Culturally Yours," which develops a personalized cross-cultural reading assistant that uses culture as a foundation for personalization. The 57-minute talk demonstrates both challenges and potential solutions in creating AI systems with cultural understanding.
