New partnership between the Welsh Government and OpenAI to improve Welsh language ChatGPT.
The Welsh Government has today announced a new data partnership with OpenAI to improve how AI technologies works in Welsh.
In the Senedd later today, Cabinet Secretary for the Economy, Energy and Welsh Language, Jeremy Miles, will outline his key priorities for the Welsh language, with technology a golden thread running through each one.
His priorities include:
- publishing a Welsh Language Education Bill in the coming weeks which will enable all school pupils in Wales to become independent and confident Welsh speakers
- supporting economic development in communities with a high density of Welsh speakers to ensure the language flourishes alongside economic growth
- creating opportunities to speak and to enjoy through the medium of Welsh by increasing language transmission, both within families and within communities
The partnership will build open data archives to contribute data to the research community, to improve linguistic performance of AI models and applications.
Since the Welsh Government published its Welsh language technology action plan in 2018, it has funded, created, and worked on many of the digital components that the language needs.
People can submit information on the Welsh Government’s website: Technology and the Welsh language: call for information | GOV.WALES. As well as this, the government will also be talking to people all over Wales and beyond, to get their input into future work in Welsh language technology.
