March 3 (DailyNews) – A Sri Lankan student named Sisilal De Silva and his colleague Benjamin Weston have managed to develop ‘LinguaGPT,” an artificial intelligence application that is accessible in over 100 different languages.
Prior to this, AI applications of this nature were being created and utilised across the world, but they were restricted to a very few languages and were not accessible to people who are not very conversant in the English language. ‘LinguaGPT’ revolutionises the field of AI by breaking the language barrier.

Kanchana Ekanayake, another Sri Lankan also worked in the project as a team member and provided his expertise.
Even now, significant amount of international attention has been drawn on this product. The website is constantly operating at full capacity. Computer science researchers have said that this as a big step in removing language barriers in using AI globally. I asked lingua GPT, itself what linguaGPT is, in its own words, ‘Lingua GPT is a natural language processing (NLP) model developed by OpenAI.
It is a transformer-based language model that was trained on a dataset of over 8 million webpages. It is designed to generate human-like text from a given prompt. It can be used for a variety of tasks, such as summarization, question-answering, and machine translation.
