    Multilingual AI + AI for Translation

    Multilingual AI + AI for Translation

    Rafie is back! In this episode, we delve into Multilingual AI and AI-enabled translation services, machine learning translation techniques, and we discuss and compare translation tools such as Google AutoML, GPT-4, Marian NMT, DeepL, Welocalize, Llama 2, Mistral and BLOOM

    Furthermore, we discuss the potential and impact of multilingual AI for global startups (the andreesen horowitz view is that the company of the future is 'default global').



    06:00 - Machine Translation vs LLMs

    16:10 - Where GPT-4 and LLMs perform badly

    Welcome to another episode of Using AI. I'm your usual host, Alex Denne, and today, I'm accompanied by Alex Pap and Nitish Mutha (Founder of Legaltech Genie AI).

    We start by introducing Llama and discuss its weights leaking incident. We also elaborate how Llama compares to other AI models and explain how to use it. The conversation takes a turn towards the Meta vs Open AI dispute, shedding light on their differences and impact in this space. We also discuss Meta's data management and how it can actually come up trumps on both privacy strategy here, and non-copyrighted multi-lingual training data.
