That\u2019s a question that newly qualified intercultural trainer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/carmelaantic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carmela Anti\u0107<\/a> wondered out loud about on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/carmelaantic_artificialintelligence-interculturalcommunication-activity-7458153533402484736-KOL1?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop&amp;rcm=ACoAAACalp0BLT0stKe2DL17XFR9d6W0ArcFy0Q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>. So I got in touch and asked her to explain more on the podcast.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to Absolutely Intercultural, show number 323. My name\u2019s Anne Fox and this show is coming to you from Denmark.<\/p>\n<p>Before we explore if AI can take over intercultural training, we need to be clear about what a human intercultural trainer does. Here is how Carmela described her work. Carmela then shares how she uses AI to support her work, but she also tells us when it is not a good idea.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely human<\/strong><br \/>So let\u2019s start the show and begin by hearing what an intercultural trainer actually does, before we stop to consider to what extent that could be taken over by AI.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely replaceable<\/strong><br \/>Now that we know what an intercultural trainer does, I moved on next to ask Carmela why she had asked on LinkedIn whether AI would be taking over intercultural training.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5773\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5773\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/?attachment_id=5773\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5773\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5773\" src=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Political-compass-positioning-of-26-large-language-models-across-economic-and-social_W640-300x277.jpg\" alt=\"Matrix showing cultural values behind the 26 most well-known LLMs.\" width=\"300\" height=\"277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Political-compass-positioning-of-26-large-language-models-across-economic-and-social_W640-300x277.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Political-compass-positioning-of-26-large-language-models-across-economic-and-social_W640.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5773\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/399707471_Political_Alignment_in_Large_Language_Models_A_Multidimensional_Audit_of_Psychometric_Identity_and_Behavioral_Bias\/figures?lo=1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So, as often happens, it seems that we can use AI as a support rather than a replacement and that one of the most important parts of intercultural training is experiencing shifts in emotions and perspectives where AI is very weak.<\/p>\n<p>I really liked the idea of the AI based on knowledge up to 1930. It\u2019s called <a href=\"https:\/\/talkie-lm.com\/chat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">talkie<\/a> and is a really fun way to explore attitudes from the past. You\u2019ll find a link to that and also to Carmela on LinkedIn on our website.<\/p>\n<p>So what do you think? Would you benefit from an intercultural training offered by AI?
