This workshop will explore the transformative potential of AI in the field of language education. Participants will discuss how AI-driventools are revolutionizing language learning by providing personalized, adaptive experiences for learners. The conversation will also addressthe challenges and ethical dilemmas of integrating AI into educational environments, including data privacy, accessibility, and the impact ontraditional teaching methods.

This workshop will focus on the complexities of applying Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies across diMerent cultural and linguistic landscapes. Attendees will examine the hurdles of developing NLP systems that can accurately understand and process languages with diverse syntactic, semantic, and cultural characteristics. The workshop will encourage dialogue on how tocreate inclusive and culturally sensitive AI models that can serveglobal communities eMectively.

This workshop will delve into the evolving relationship between AI and linguistic research. Participants will explore how AI technologies are enhancing traditional linguistic studies by enabling deeper analysis and broader data interpretation. Discussions will cover the potential forAI to uncover new insights in language patterns, phonetics, and syntax, while also considering the challenges of integrating these tools intoestablished research framework.

This workshop will examine the intersection of language, culture, and artificial intelligence, focusing on how AI technologies can both support and threaten cultural and linguistic diversity. Participants will discuss the risks of cultural bias in AI language models and the importance of developing technologies that respect and preserve linguistic heritage. The session will also consider the role of AI in promoting cross cultural understanding and communication in an increasingly interconnected world.
