Why does language matter in DH? Multilingual DH as a phenomenon in digital research and infrastructures.

This lecture explores how Large Language Models represent meaning, form generalisations and reflect social perspectives. It examines the extent to which language models can perform semantic interpretation and abstraction, how stereotypes may be represented in their outputs, and how the language used to describe AI influences our understanding of its capabilities.
