NPLD-COPPIETERS CAMPUS 2024 DIGITALIZATION, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND LANGUAGES: OVERVIEW AND OPPORTUNITIES
The Campus focuses on the interplay between digitalisation, artificial intelligence and minority languages; highlighting the opportunities and good practices to support minority languages in the digital age. The discussions taking place during the Campus highlight the experiences of the Basque, Catalan, Galician, Irish and Welsh governments to provide insights for NPLD members to help in their own language planning journey. Furthermore, the Campus will also include discussions by research organisations that look to showcase their research projects relating to digitalisation and minority languages.
