A new partnership has been announced between the Welsh Government and sovereign AI company Cosine to help improve how AI works in Welsh.

Data, resources and expertise will be provided by the Welsh Government to help improve how Cosine’s Lumen AI model understands and processes Welsh.

The Welsh Government has an aim to ensure that Welsh thrives in the digital age, making it easier for people to use more of their Welsh in their everyday lives.

The partnership will also support work to ensure new technologies recognise, understand and support bilingual use, reflecting how multilingual communities all around the world use AI every day.

The Cabinet Minister for Education and the Welsh Language, Anna Brychan, said: "The Welsh language belongs to us all. It is part of who we are as a nation, and we want to create more opportunities for people to use it in every part of their lives.

"It’s important that Welsh is fully represented in the technologies people use to access information, learn, work and communicate. This new partnership helps to strengthen Welsh-language capability in AI, creating more opportunities for us all to use our Welsh confidently every day and supporting the language's future in the digital age."

The Cabinet Minister for Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy, Adam Price, said: "AI has the potential to bring real benefits to our economy, public services and communities. By working with sovereign AI companies like Cosine, we can help build the skills, knowledge and capability Wales needs to make the most of these technologies, while supporting innovation that reflects our national priorities.

"This will help strengthen Wales’ long-term position in AI, and is especially important for the Welsh language, helping to ensure new technologies work for people in the language of their choice."
