THE ROLE OF LINGUISTICS IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: HOW LANGUAGE SCIENCE SHAPES AI DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Linguistics is crucial in Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially in Natural Language Processing (NLP). AI-powered systems like chatbots and machine translation tools rely on linguistic principles to understand and generate human language. This article explores the intersection of linguistics and artificial intelligence (AI), highlighting how insights from language science inform and enhance AI development. It examines the contributions of linguistic theories to natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning, emphasizing the importance of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics in creating effective AI systems. The role of linguistics in improving AI's understanding of human language is analyzed, along with implications for future developments and ethical considerations.
