Bible being used to train Artificial intelligence
Meta, the company that owns Facebook and is developing Artificial intelligence technology (AI), recently said that it is using the Bible and other religious texts including Christian literature to train its AI to understand multiple languages, Premier Christian News reports. The tech company is using the Bible to train its AI because it has been translated into so many languages. As of September last year, the complete Bible (Old and New Testament) has been translated into 724 languages, the New Testament into 1,617 languages, and individual chapters and texts into 3,589 languages. “These [Bible] translations have publicly available audio recordings of people reading these texts in different languages,” Meta said in a statement. “As part of the MMS project, we created a dataset of readings of the New Testament in more than 1,100 languages, which provided on average 32 hours of data per language.” Currently, Meta’s AI understands 4,000 languages that can be simultaneously translated up from the 100 it was capable of doing a few months ago.
