Digital Transformation of the Georgian Language: The Role of Artificial Intelligence and Language Technologies
Downloads
The rapid development of digital technologies has significantly changed the communicative, educational and information environment of modern society. The integration of artificial intelligence and language technologies has acquired particular importance, creating new opportunities for both global and less common languages. The Georgian language, as a language with a unique script and centuries-old cultural heritage, faces significant challenges in the modern digital era. On the one hand, its full integration into modern information technologies is necessary, and on the other hand, the protection of linguistic identity and norms is necessary. The article discusses modern trends in the digital transformation of the Georgian language, the role of artificial intelligence in the development of language resources, the capabilities of natural language processing technologies, automatic translation systems, speech recognition and synthesis platforms, the impact of automatic spelling and grammar checking corpora, as well as large language models on the digital development of the Georgian language. Special attention is paid to Georgian language corpora, the need to develop lexical resources and digital infrastructure.
The goal of the study is to analyze the main directions of the digital transformation of the Georgian language, assess the existing challenges, and determine strategic steps that will contribute to increasing the competitiveness of the Georgian language in the global digital space. The findings indicate that the successful digital transformation of the Georgian language largely depends on the development of comprehensive language resources, open data infrastructure, and sustainable collaboration between academic institutions, government agencies, and the technology sector. In addition, the integration of the Georgian language into
modern artificial intelligence systems requires a focused effort in language modeling and increased investment in computational linguistics research. The article states that the digital existence of the Georgian language is not only a technological issue, but also a matter of cultural sustainability and national strategic development in the era of
artificial intelligence.
