description: "AI and Language Data: Setting the Groundwork for 2026"
---

<br>

In recent years we have seen an explosion of artificial intelligence (AI) activity in language research, driven by rapid advances in natural language processing (tasks such as translation, sentiment analysis, speech recognition) and large language models (a computer's representation of human language).

The increasing availability of massive language datasets, improved training methods, and more powerful computing resources has accelerated AI progress. The momentum has sparked enthusiasm and concerns around participating in the AI rush, particularly for First Nations peoples globally.

Watch this space in 2026 for a more comprehensive statement by LDaCA about using AI tools with language data. A working party is being assembled, of people involved with LDaCA who are using AI in their research. We intend to write general advice covering particular AI systems, to be used as a guide for creating and working with language data using AI.
