AI @ SIL
SIL International
SIL is a global, faith-based nonprofit that works with local communities around the world to develop language solutions that expand possibilities for a better life.
Our Vision for AI
We long to see people flourishing in community as the benefits of AI and Natural Language Processing (NLP) extend to local language speakers desiring to engage in the digital sphere.
WHAT WE BUILD
-
AI systems to promote flourishing through greater access to & engagement with God's word and local churches.
-
Foundation models and datasets that are linguistically diverse and that promote more diverse NLP research and AI-driven products.
-
NLP functionality that represents how people actually use their language(s) and for all modalities of language; written, spoken, & signed.
-
Technology designed with local language communities, considering the impacts of what we build and the desires of those communities.
