Analyzing the potential of using large language models for languages of peoples of the Russian Federation and the CIS in the modern digital space

Abstract

In the timeframe from 2022 to 2023, the progress in the development of large language models, based on machine learning and neural network technologies, also referred to as “artificial intelligence”, reached an unprecedented level. This facilitated making a significant leap for the application of natural language processing algorithms to both science and everyday life. The article examines the potential and current challenges of using these technologies with respect to the languages of the peoples of the Russian Federation and the CIS in the modern digital environment. The study touches upon such areas as translation, linguistic analysis, language popularization, and development of original language online services.
