Addressing Bias in Large Language Models and Its Impact on Non-Native English Speakers

Generative AI models, such as ChatGPT, have an English language bias due to the disproportionate prevalence of English content on the internet. This bias can negatively impact non-native English speakers, limit cultural diversity and innovation, and potentially lead to misinformation. Addressing this bias requires more data, time, and computational power, which can be costly. However, some start-ups are trying to address the issue of language bias from an accessibility standpoint. While individual initiatives are commendable, mitigating the English language bias requires a collective industry response to prevent AI-induced discrimination against non-English speakers.
