Is artificial intelligence dangerous? No, the way it could be used is dangerous. Today we discover Aloud and Relate: two Google projects in which technology is put at the service of breaking down language barriers. Alessio Pomaro Alessio Pomaro Mar 23, 2022 •5 min read Google's Aloud and Relate projects: when technology breaks down barriers Google's Aloud and Relate projects: when technology breaks down barriers Artificial intelligence , and technology in general, are powerful tools, and it is up to us to channel them towards good.
Artificial intelligence will be the best or worst thing that ever happened to India Mobile Number Data humanity.” - Stephen Hawking - The great Stephen Hawking has expressed himself several times on the dangers of artificial intelligence, but the real threat lies in the type of use to which it will be put. If we choose to use the knife to peel apples and not to commit crimes, everything will be fine. In this post, I would like to talk about two projects in which artificial intelligence is used for a purpose that I would define as exciting, namely the elimination of linguistic barriers, but in two different interpretations of " barrier ". I'm referring to Google's Aloud and Relate projects . The Aloud project Aloud is a new project by Area 120, the well-known Google incubator dedicated to experimentation.
Using Aloud, creators can quickly and easily dub their videos into multiple languages, unlocking knowledge that would otherwise become " trapped " in a single language. Have you ever wanted to learn something from a video, but couldn't because it was in another language? If your answer is yes, you are not alone. Aloud's presentation video According to Google research , 46% of users use videos to learn new concepts . However, most content is produced in English, but over 80% of the world's population does not speak it . One might think of subtitles as a good compromise. They can certainly help bridge the language gap, but they aren't always ideal on mobile devices due to the following factors: the dimensions of the displays, the need for constant attention towards the screen, the difficulty of accessibility for those with vision or reading problems .
