Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

Could AI be used to offer a translation of every wikipedia page into all possible live languages ?

As much as google translate I suppose. There’s no guarantee for the quality of the output.

I guess it's going to be different. It could be a bard based gtranslate, llama, anything, but for sure its going to be a much bigger improvement for minor languages

It could, but the quality wouldn't be any better than putting it through Google translate. Which is far from amazing

Probably. How could we try it first? I am interested in translating to Arabic.

You can find browser extensions that offers AI translations of webpages. To do it with mass scale we'd need a crawler to collect all those missing pages, automate the translation and then push the new tranlated pages
