从濒危到赋权——探索多模态人工智能技术赋能语言多样性保护及推动国际传播战略创新

From Endangerment to Empowerment—An Exploration of Multimodal AI Technologies in Linguistic Diversity Conservation and International Communication Strategies Innovation

在后疫情时代和全球化的背景下,主流语言系统愈发冲击人们的生活。随着网络环境的大众化和网络语境的趋同化,人们普遍选择联合国工作语言或各国官方用语进行交流,巨大的文化冲击既使得各国文化互相交融,同时让弱势语言及小语种陷入濒危境地。笔者团队采用问卷调查的形式广泛了解中国各年龄段各地区方言使用现状,探究方言流失趋势,并通过分析团队成员在AI智能语音库支持下完成方言录入保存的实践经历进行实证研究,从而得出在“人类命运共同体”的全球话语体系下,建议运用AI、AR系统与新媒体结合的形式挽救濒危语言的结论。此研究目的在于探索保护语言文化多样性的新途径,让世界语言系统更好地被保留和传承,促进人类文化的交流和发展,从而达到广义上的国际传播,以技术赋权促进人类精神文明宝库的留存和扩大。

In the post-pandemic era and amidst globalization, dominant language systems increasingly impact people’s lives. With the popularization of the Internet and the convergence of online contexts, individuals commonly opt for using United Nations working languages or official languages for communication. This significant cultural impact boosts cultural blending between nations but endangers minority languages and dialects at the same time. Through a questionnaire survey, the research team extensively examines the current usage of dialects across different age groups and regions in China, investigates the trend of dialect loss, and conducts empirical research by analyzing team members’ experiences in dialect recording and preservation supported by AI intelligent speech databases. Consequently, the research proposes, within the framework of the “community of shared future for mankind,” the integration of AI, AR, and new media to salvage endangered languages. This research aims to explore new avenues for preserving linguistic and cultural diversity, enabling better preservation and inheritance of global language systems, promoting the exchange and development of human culture, and achieving broad international communication. Through technological empowerment, it seeks to foster the preservation and expansion of the treasury of human spiritual civilization.
