Linguistics: Language and AI

Technology and linguistics go hand-in-hand at the specialisation Language and AI in the VU Master’s degree in Linguistics.

There is a revolution going on in language technology: the use of Chat GPT and generative AI systems has grown tremendously in a short period of time, for instance by students. But there are many questions. How do they work? What can they do and what not? Are they dangerous for society? What are the ethical aspects of using these systems? In the specialisation Language and AI we are searching for the answers.

Automated systems are more and more part of our lives. What people often do not realize is that language is at the heart of these systems. This is why they are called Large Language Models. Understanding these models also means understanding how we use language. To prepare for the future, you need to have the knowledge and skills to use this technology. The Language and AI Master’s programme prepares you as a scholar and as an engineer how to build and use this technology in professional context such as government, health, legal, education domains and many others.

In the programme Language and AI you will  learn what Large Language Models are, how to use and build them and eventually how generative AI works. To understand the ins and outs, you need to know about the technical and the linguistic background of these systems. A bachelor in Linguistics is the ideal starting point for this Master as we explain the technology step-by-step. But you can also enter the master’s with a background in AI or Computer Science. We ensure that you acquire the necessary linguistic background knowledge.
