Google building AI model to support over 100 Indian languages: Sundar Pichai
The HinduGoogle, the world’s most popular search engine, is working on making text and voice internet search available in over 100 Indian langugages, its India-born CEO Sundar Pichai said on Monday. “That includes our efforts to build a single, unified AI model that will be capable of handling over 100 Indian languages across speech and text – part of our global effort to bring the world’s 1,000 most-spoken languages online, and to help people access knowledge and information in their preferred language,” he wrote in a blog. “I’m excited to see the ways India will contribute to breakthroughs in AI that could benefit over a billion people in India, and more around the world,” he said. Glad to be able to see it up close, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit.” Sanjay Gupta, Google’s Country Head and Vice President, India, said Google is making search results pages bilingual in India by tapping into its advanced ML -based translation models and cross-language search technology.
