AI and the Welsh language - Blog Post from Welsh Government
Post by Indeg, Cymraeg 2050 Team, on the Welsh Government Data and Digital Blog
When we published the Welsh language technology action Plan in 2018, our aim was to create technological advances that would enable us to use more Welsh in a wide range of situations. In February 2024, the then Minister for Education and Welsh Language published the final report on this Plan, looking back at our progress, including advancements in AI.
We’ve since launched a call for information asking for opinions and ideas on the next steps in Welsh tech. This call for information closed on 01 October, and we’re currently considering the responses. Thank you very much to everyone who sent in their ideas!
By building the infrastructure for Welsh language technology in this way, we’re encouraging people to use more Welsh, helping us reach our goals for Cymraeg 2050: A million Welsh speakers.
We’re also supporting the delivery of the Digital Strategy for Wales by developing digital tools and technologies which will enable people to access better public services in Welsh.
