Google is building a 1,000-language AI model to beat Microsoft-backed chatGPT
Google has shared more information about its Universal Speech Model (USM), which the company describes as a “critical first step” in achieving its goals. It is now closer to its goal of building an AI model that supports 1000 different language models. languages to win ChatGPT.
In November of last year, the company announced plans to create a language model that supports 1,000 of the world’s most spoken languages, while unveiling its USM model.
The technology giant describes USM as a family of state-of-the-art speech models with 2 billion parameters for 12 million hours of speech and 28 billion text sentences in over 300 languages.
“USM intended for use on YouTube (e.g. for subtitling) can perform automatic speech recognition (ASR) not only on widely spoken languages such as English and Mandarin, but also on under-resourced languages such as Amharic, Cebuano, Assamese, and Azerbaijani to name a few”, Google said in a blog post.
Google currently claims that USM supports more than 100 languages and serves as the “foundation” for a much larger system.
At the same time, Google is expected to introduce a number of artificial intelligence features to its products in the near future, and among them Gboard for Android aims to integrate the Image text-to-image generator.
