Rage Baiting and Border Crossing: How AI/LLMs Complicate Translation
Rage Baiting and Border Crossing: How AI/LLMs Complicate Translation is a talks & classes event at MLK Library in Downtown San Jose, San Jose on Tuesday, November 3 at 4:00 PM.
About this event
Rage bait prompts audience engagement by provoking anger. Torsa Ghosal's talk compares “rage bait” narratives about border crossing generated by Large Language Models (LLMs) in two different languages: English and Bengali. Because LLMs are incapable of registering the cultural codes embedded in language, their mis-translations create problems, especially for non-English languages. Join us to discover how the spread of LLMs is impacting translation, migration narratives, and the preservation of world languages.
