The paper analyzes the distribution of artificial intelligence resources across 6,003 languages, revealing that a small number of languages dominate and that disparities are widening exponentially. It compares the diffusion of AI with earlier information technologies, noting a hype-driven spread pattern. The authors introduce the Language AI Readiness Index (EQUATE) to map technological, socio-economic, and infrastructural prerequisites for AI deployment, aiming to guide equitable diffusion of language AI.

The paper examines how four stakeholder groups—AI developers, professional translators, language learners, and language service providers—discuss machine translation on social media. Using a dataset of 79,286 posts from Reddit, Facebook, Bluesky, and Mastodon (2019‑2025), the authors find frequent disagreements and strong conflicts over translation quality, efficiency, and reliability. These conflicts arise because AI communities view the issues as technical, while non‑AI users prioritize quality nuances, time savings, trust, and broader social concerns.
