Meta is launching a new program in partnership with UNESCO to collect speech recordings and transcriptions the company said will help the development of future openly available AI. The program, the Language Technology Partner Program, is seeking collaborators who can contribute more than 10 hours of speech recordings with transcriptions, large amounts of written text, and sets of translated sentences in “diverse languages.” According to Meta, partners will work with the company’s AI teams to integrate these languages into AI speech recognition and translation models, which — when finalized — will be open-sourced.
