COLM 2026's GenAI4World workshop tackles globalizing AI tasks, evals, and systems
m2saxon · x · 2026-10-09
The GenAI4World workshop at COLM 2026 focuses on globalizing generative AI: tasks, evaluations, and systems.
- Current AI systems are built on Western-centric design assumptions yet used by everyone worldwide
- Models fail on tasks like code-switching never anticipated by predominantly monolingual pipelines
- These usability issues are invisible to standard eval metrics; failure modes are discovered by users, not developers
The workshop features talks, paper presentations, and a panel, with a Zoom livestream.
