Plurification in/of language technology -- The integration of culture in next-generation AI

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

The paper explores how "culture" can be operationalised in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and what this reveals about the possibilities and limits of considering a plurality of cultural backgrounds in technological design. It proposes that cultural alignment cannot be achieved only by adding more examples of "other cultures", rather it requires plural epistemologies: allowing multiple, locally grounded ways of knowing.

"AI is (not) the new...": A Diagnostic Analogy Framework for Generative AI's Cultural Impacts

The paper proposes a diagnostic analogy framework to analyze how generative AI reshapes cultural and epistemic practices. It breaks down interventions into three coordinates—epistemic site, governing logic, and technical mechanism—to differentiate structural consequences from those that can be designed. Applying this framework to information discovery and knowledge synthesis, the authors illustrate how shifts from indexicality to inference and from editorial authority to statistical consensus generate specific cultural effects and uncover governance levers hidden by broad analogies.
