MicrosoftThese are great questions!
While there isn't a clear set of tools to solve this challenge yet, Microsoft is working across many groups to build cross-language solutions. Inclusion and transparency are key responsible AI principles across Microsoft AI. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/ai/responsible-ai
You may be interested in the work being done at Microsoft Research across responsible AI - see a recent roundup here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/advancing-transparency-updates-on-responsible-ai-research/
The Microsoft Research team supports several projects to support inclusion of languages across research. As an example, the Microsoft Africa Research Institute (MARI) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/group/microsoft-africa-research-institute-mari/overview/ addresses how to democratize AI at scale in Africa. Their recent publication on multi-lingual LLMs shares benchmarks and a framework for evaluating generative LLMs in a multilingual context: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/mega-multilingual-evaluation-of-generative-ai/
Broader research across LLMs and languages is findable here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/research-area/human-language-technologies/?
