This episode features an interview with Professor Monojit Choudhury, a leading expert in natural language processing (NLP). The discussion centers on the challenges and ethical considerations of building large language models (LLMs), particularly concerning their impact on various languages and cultures. Professor Choudhury highlights the significant data imbalance across languages, leading to unfairness and potential language extinction. He also addresses ethical concerns like copyright infringement, privacy violations, and the generation of biased or harmful content. Finally, he explores the future of NLP, predicting a shift toward smaller, specialized models and the integration of LLMs with other technologies like brain-computer interfaces.
