The 21st century has brought significant changes to various fields of science, largely due to the rapid development of information technologies. The philosophy of science has evolved, introducing new challenges for languages. While the traditional classification paradigm included genetic, typological, and relational classifications, a new paradigm has emerged. This new paradigm categorizes languages according to different parameters: 1) the legal status of the language, 2) the viability of the language and its areas of use, and 3) the degree of operation of languages in the digital age. According to this new classification, languages are now categorized into high-resource languages (HRL) and low-resource languages (LRL). Consequently, the traditional Language Atlas, which reflects the genealogical classification or distribution area of languages, has been replaced by a new Language Atlas that shows the percentage of digital resources available for natural language processing (NLP) in relation to the number of languages spoken worldwide.

What challenges does the Georgian language face in the digital age? How can artificial intelligence be used effectively to technologies the Georgian language? To answer these and other questions, the University Frankfurt together with Partner Institution University of Georgia and Academy for digital humanities – Georgia is holding an international workshop ‘Artificial Intelligence and the Georgian Language in the Digital Era’ from 18 to 25 August 2025. The workshop is intended for master’s students, doctoral candidates, and postdoctoral researchers.
