Meta has just announced it is building an AI translation tool that can convert over 100 languages in a variety of different ways. Will it beat the competition?

When you think of tools infused with artificial intelligence these days, it’s natural for ChatGPT and Bing Chat to spring to mind. But Facebook owner Meta wants to change that with SeamlessM4T, an AI-powered “universal language translator” that could instantly convert any language in the world into whatever output you want.

According to Meta, the tool’s speech recognition and translation features can work in a few different ways:• Speech-to-text translation for nearly 100 input and output languages• Text-to-text translation for nearly 100 languagesRecommended Videos Meta says this will “allow people to communicate effortlessly through speech and text across different languages.”

However, Meta did not make it clear where these 270,000 hours of “mined speech” have been sourced. Concerns have been raised over the privacy implications of Meta’s work on AI chatbots, while other AI tools have already been caught stealing protected work. There will no doubt be fears that Meta could have done something similar when it trained SeamlessM4T.
