How do we wake up regulators about the risks of the upcoming 'conversational' search engine war?

I have, as many in NLP worldwide in the last 2 months, talked to many journalists and academics from other fields about #ChatGPT. Many of us have warned rigth away (e.g., [1]) that the commercial interests & competition in big tech will lead to this technology being unrolled prematurely, without proper independent risk assessment. Is anyone doing anything about it?

"Some Languages are More Equal than Others: Probing Deeper into the Linguistic Disparity in the NLP World"

Some Languages are More Equal than Others: Probing Deeper into the Linguistic Disparity in the NLP World

Linguistic disparity in the NLP world is a problem that has been widely acknowledged recently. However, different facets of this problem, or the reasons behind this disparity are seldom discussed within the NLP community. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the disparity that exists within the languages of the world. We show that simply categorising languages considering data availability may not be always correct. Using an existing language categorisation based on speaker population and vitality, we analyse the distribution of language data resources, amount of NLP/CL research, inclusion in multilingual web-based platforms and the inclusion in pre-trained multilingual models. We show that many languages do not get covered in these resources or platforms, and even within the languages belonging to the same language group, there is wide disparity. We analyse the impact of family, geographical location, GDP and the speaker population of languages and provide possible reasons for this disparity, along with some suggestions to overcome the same.
