The Crucial Role of Linguists in Business Artificial Intelligence

From an article by Manuela Perrone, Il Sole24Ore

"It's always said that data is the new oil. But little is made of the fact that these are essentially linguistic data. The role of natural language analysis with AI in improving decisions in the company was discussed on 8 May at the second event of the series "Humane intelligence. Transforming Artificial Intelligence into a positive technology", promoted at the Catholic University of Milan by Giuseppe Riva, director of the Humane Technology Lab, which explores the relationship between human experience and technology. First of all, Riva called for the search for a third way between "apocalyptic and integrated". An operation that is impossible without linking humanistic knowledge to technology: the real challenge lies in the capacity for virtuous contamination between the two worlds today."

The article by journalist Manuela Perrone discusses what emerged during the meeting "How to Analyze Natural Language with AI can Improve Decisions in the Company", held on May 8 at the Catholic University of Milan. The crucial role of linguists in business Artificial Intelligence is highlighted, emphasizing that linguistic data is fundamental for AI and that collaboration between technology and humanistic knowledge is essential for a responsible use of technology. The changing work landscape and the need for interdisciplinary training are also discussed. Finally, the article highlights the importance of AI regulation and equitable access to language models for all languages.
