Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is a global technology company.  On February 7, the company announced the launch of its “Language Technology Partner Program”. This platform stems from Meta’s work with UNESCO to expand the support of underserved languages in AI models, promoting language diversity and inclusivity. The company is currently seeking partners to collaborate with them on advancing and broadening its open-source language technologies, which include AI translation technologies. Underserved languages, particularly in focus, support UNESCO’s work as part of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages. The partners will be working with the company’s AI teams to integrate these languages into AI speech recognition and translation models. These models, once finalized, will be open-sourced.

“Our efforts are especially focused on underserved languages, in support of UNESCO’s work. Ultimately, our goal is to create intelligent systems that can understand and respond to complex human needs, regardless of language or cultural background.”
