Source: How AI and Wikipedia have sent vulnerable languages into a doom spiral (2025-09-25)
Artificial intelligence and Wikipedia are contributing to the decline of vulnerable languages, accelerating their risk of extinction. These technologies often favor dominant languages, leaving lesser-known ones behind and reducing their presence online. This trend threatens cultural diversity and linguistic heritage, as smaller language communities struggle to maintain their traditions and communication. Experts warn that without intervention, many of these languages could disappear entirely in the near future.
