Exploring the Cultural Implications of Large Language Models in AI
Large language models, particularly in generative AI, embody a profound cultural dimension by modeling the vast information of the internet. Each token or word is interconnected, creating a representation of knowledge and truth. Current dominant products predominantly reflect the cultural narratives of the American and Western European internet, potentially neglecting diverse expressions from regions like Japan and China, where cultural frameworks differ significantly due to their unique digital ecosystems. This disparity emphasizes that AI is not merely an advanced tool for efficiency, but a reflection and codification of collective truths, histories, and cultures. Understanding this aspect is crucial for recognizing the broader implications of AI in society.
