Language Policy and Planning in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
- AI technologies have become a new object of policy and planning.
- AI technologies are becoming powerful actors in the language policy landscape.
- Possible topics:
- AI governance and regulation as forms of LPP, including linguistic dimensions of frameworks such as the European Union AI Act.
- How LPP decisions in the design and implementation of AI systems developed within Natural Language Processing have consequences for representation, bias, and inequality of languages.
- LPP relating to the use of AI-mediated communication tools (e.g., automated translation, chatbots, and generative systems) in public institutions and their implications for language access and linguistic rights.
- LPP as evidenced in linguistic data governance, including questions of data ownership, consent, and the extraction or stewardship of language resources used to train AI systems.
- How AI is redefining policies for digital literacy
- The influence of generative AI on language norms, standardization, writing practices, and perceptions of linguistic authority.
- LPP responses to AI in educational institutions, workplaces, and other organizational contexts, including implications for multilingualism and language learning.
- AI as a non-human LPP agent
