Naslov predavanja: ADDRESSING HISTORICAL AND CONTEMPORARY INEQUALITIES IN LOW-RESOURCE LANGUAGES

Apstrakt: The development of AI-based language models has predominantly focused on high-resource languages, reinforcing historical inequalities and marginalizing low-resource languages (LRLs) such as Serbian. While English, Mandarin, and other widely spoken languages have sizeable datasets, computational resources, and AI development funding, LRLs face significant marginalization in the age of AI. LRLs struggle with underrepresentation in AI applications, impacting their digital sustainability, accessibility, and global visibility (Joshi et al., 2020). This paper presents a case study of the Serbian language, an LRL characterized by its rich dialectical diversity and dual alphabetic systems. The paper examines historical and contemporary barriers to development of AI tools and resources for Serbian, and proposes some possible solutions based on preliminary results of a study that included semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 10 scholars– computational linguists, philosophers of language, AI developers, and digital humanists–involved in developing computational tools and resources for the Serbian language.
