ELRC’s vision has always been to contribute to a true digital single market where all EU citizens can access information irrespective of the language they speak. With the support of AI, societal challenges can be addressed: we can think of environment, health, or crisis response, but AI is also involved technologies such as Machine Translation, Speech Recognition or Fake News Detection that allow us to communicate across borders, to dictate text messages on our mobile phones, and to verify information sources through fake news detectors – only to name a few. Given the increasing importance of AI and Language Technologies (LT) across all European countries and sectors, the third edition of the ELRC White Paper focusses on the role of language technology and language resources, both within public administrations and small to medium-sized enterprises, while taking into account recent developments, as well as AI-related national regulations. During this investigation, ELRC gained important new insights into the value and status quo of language-centric AI, which actually changed since 2019. For instance, Machine Translation (MT) has found its way into the daily work life of public administrations. In 2022, only 6% of the participating organisations didn’t use MT at all. At the same time, the use of Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) Tools has massively increased. Above this, significant changes on policy level have occurred, including regarding actual translation and data sharing practices in the participating organisations in comparison to 2019. Also, the ELRC White Paper illustrates the latest developments and approaches to sustainable language data sharing in SMEs and public services. On the one hand, the circumstances that were found to negatively impact or limit the sharing of language data in Europe in 2019 still exist. On the other hand, several additional approaches were mentioned in 2022. The surveyed participants identified six major challenges that organisations involved in the preparation and sharing of language data face in 2022 and beyond, e.g., the development of LT for European less-resourced languages and the lack of competent specialists. Last but not least, the White Paper includes an updated Country Profile for each participating CEF country, that provides the latest insights into the country’s digital and language policy, data collection efforts for LT/AI, major networks, projects and key players related to LT, challenges of sharing language data and many more. The ELRC White Paper will be published in November, and of course we will give more details on how to get access to the full online version in the next ELRC Newsletter. Stay tuned!
